I have heard At The Jazzband Ball played many times in various countries but, to me, the player who managed to evoke the sound, sprit and panache of Bix is the current New Orleans musician Shaye Cohn leading her great band Tuba Skinny. You can watch a video of them by clicking here

EXTRA TRIVIA
In September 2003 I was in the Jazz Museum in New Orleans. I was totally fascinated. I can across a sealed glass case that had Bix Beiderbecke's cornet in it. There was a member of the staff in the room and I asked him if I could hold it. He said that it's no longer playable. I said I don't want to play it, I said just wanted to hold it. He opened the case and said "OK then, be quick." I was and I felt wonderful

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.

Dick Sudhalter, a fine cornetist and trumpeter himself, and Philip R. Evans co-wrote what was probably the best musical bio I ever read, "Bix: Man and Legend".

the Italian one is something different. Different in intention.

Sudhalter's work was tremendous, I read his book and saw his performances on Youtube.

However Pupi Avati's film tries to take us back there and try to explain to us why it was so difficult for Bix's family and friends to help him.

I think in a way - they are different sides of the same coin, So many people (I include myself) are fascinated by this man and his place in history. To us he is a misfit - a manToo consumed by the desire to create to accept the r

sorry about that my computer was playing up!

As I was saying he seems too consumed with the desire to create, to slow himself down by thinking in terms of musical notation. Perhaps it was the sensual thrill of creating and composing, and dominating a small group ofmusicians merely by picking up his cornet.

In contrast I think Sudhalter's book , with its tale of his first kiss etc seemed to me to opine that Bix was a red blooded American kid/musical genius who had the misfortune to discover whisky and hit a brick wall.

Either way, I should welcome a chance to discuss these matters which have had me thinking for many years.
