GUEST,Peter T. | Happy 100th -- Bix Beiderbecke Today! (1903-1931) (14) | Happy 100th -- Bix Beiderbecke Today! | 10 Mar 03 |
The man who turned me on to jazz, Bix Beiderbecke, was born 100 years ago today. His insight, tone, and sheer innovative musicality (listen to "In A Mist" sometime) remain out of this world. I can think of countless musicians, from Hoagy Carmichael to Bill Evans to Louis himself who have doffed their caps in his direction. Oh that he had had a few more years, and a few more decent recordings. |
