Comments and Reviews

cyeaman SUBS 3rd May 2024		"Margie" capped off a busy recording week for Bix, during which he recorded multiple takes of twenty different pieces of music. This included George Gershwin's "Concerto in F Major" with Paul Whiteman's Orchestra, which would be released on three 12" discs (7171-M, 7317-M), in addition to seven other tracks with Whiteman and three with Frank Trumbauer's orchestra. A high point of the week was Bix's incredible 32-measure solo on "Sweet Sue—just you" (50103-D).
cyeaman SUBS 3rd May 2024		It's interesting that labels credit Lenny Hayton on piano and George Marsh on drums on both tracks. Most sources, including the IAJRC link provided below, credit Roy Bargy on piano and put Lenny Hayton on drums on "Margie". Bargy is also credited as pianist on "Somebody Stole My Gal" and Stan King is thought to be the drummer on this one. George Marsh isn't credited on either recording. Source: "Bix: The Leon Bix Beiderbecke Story" by Philip R. Evans & Linda K. Evans, Prelike Press (1998).
GumboStu 3rd May 2016		From BixBeiderbecke.com, and specifically, the Discographical Forum, IAJRC Journal, Vol 43, No. 2, June 2010. Author Albert Haim. "The first American issue of Margie by Bix and his Gang took place in the summer of 1948 as Special editions 5013-S by the American Record Corporation." page reproduced here
