Comments and Reviews


slholzer 26th Feb 2016		Review The Trumbauer sides, of which these two are some of the best, were possibly the high point of Bix Beiderbecke's career. He was surrounded by musicians who were sympathetic (i.e. hot oriented) and highly competent in equal measure and he had not yet completely descended into the debilitating lifestyle that would bring on his young death. Some people prefer the free-wheeling atmosphere of the Wolverines, but there is little doubt that except for Bix, most of them were essentially semi-pros, and that the recording quality at Gennett was sub-par. The company with Trumbauer was uniformly faster, the arrangements imaginative, the recording quality better. Bix got the space he deserved. When he took the bait and joined the prestigious Paul Whiteman orchestra, he would find much changed for the worse. His band mates were still top talent, and many of them among the best hot musicians, but the arrangements were not what you would expect from a man who billed himself "The King of Jazz", and space for Bix was extremely limited. The recording quality remained high, but it only served to highlight how little of the real Bix his fans were hearing. If you like hot, you should make it a point to find the entire Trumbauer set. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?

fixbutte 25th Feb 2016		One of the defining jazz records, featuring Bix Beiderbecke on the cornet. Besides the record labels of the original issue, a full-page OKeh ad from the Talking Machine World magazine of June 1927 has been uploaded, showing how popular the band was at the time, and confirming that "Riverboat Shuffle", a Hoagy Carmichael composition already known to Bix fans from his May 6, 1924 recording with the Wolverine Orchestra (Gennett 5454), was the top side, regardless of the higher matrix number.
