Celebrating 100 years since the birth of cornet player Bix Beiderbecke in 1903.
His
subtle, beautiful horn tone and unusual musical ideas proved that jazz
could be sweet and still be hot.
The music of this shy, introverted
youth added a new dimension and depth to early jazz, influencing
trumpeters from Rex Stewart to Miles Davis.
