Big Al Whittle Bix Beiderbecke okeh sessions (16) RE: Bix Beiderbecke okeh sessions 05 Oct 24


I really wish someone would do Eddie Condon's autobiography as a talking book. In it Eddie and Bix have these picaresque adventures as they gig America in the 1920's. Playing for gangsters, meeting with all the greatest jazz musicians, and the experience of one's style of music going out of fashion.

Its something that speaks volumes to folk guitarists of the Peter Paul and Mary generation , who were told they 'weren't really folk' by the next generation. Bix and Eddie went through the same thing as dixieland and mainstream gave way to big band sounds.
