Bix Beiderbecke - 1927-1930 (CD)

Born Leon Bix Beiderbecke on March 10th 1903 in Davenport, Iowa, he was by his early twenties the first white musician to make any significant contribution to Jazz. Anyone who saw the BBC's series 'Ken Burn's Jazz' will be well versed in the incredible influence his playing had on the next generation of jazz musicians. His fame is all the more unique when considering the fact that his death at the age of 28 in 1931 meant that he was at the peak of his influence for less than five years. Tracks include 'Thou Swell', 'Raisin' The Roof', 'Goose Pimples', 'Jazz Me Blues' and 'Sorry'.Track Listing Singin' The Blues Clarinet Marmalade Riverboat Shuffle Ostrich Walk Way Down Yonder In New Orleans I'm Coming Virginia Three Blind Mice At The Jazz Band Ball Jazz Me Blues Royal Garden Blues Since My Best Gal Turned Me Down Cryin' All Day Sorry Goose Pimples Jubilee There'll Come A Time Thou Swell Somebody Stole My Gal Wa Da Da (Everybody's Doin' It Now) Ol' Man River Margie Rhythm King Louisiana
