Thread Name: Novel about Bix - anyone know it?
Subject: RE: Novel about Bix - anyone know it?
bookshelf wise:-

on the subject, i'm currently hosting

We called it Music by Eddie Condon
Really the Blues by Mezz Mezzrow
Remembering Bix by Ralph Berton
Bix: Man and Legend by Sudhalter and Evans
Bix: the definitive biography of a jazz legend by Jean-Pierre Lion

Plus I've read much of what Artie Shaw said about him on the Bix website. And I'm aware I'd like to get hold of Hoagy Carmichael's biog.
Strangely enough the more takes you get on the man - the more he demystifies.
