Description
Phil Elwood digs deep into his archive of rare recordings to find nine featuring the solo cornet of Bix Beiderbecke. In his short but brilliant career Bix played with a number of bands, and while these selections do not represent the best of his recorded work they are the rarest. Soon after his death some of these recordings were known to have been auctioned off for over a hundred dollars, while others languished in obscurity due to mislabeling by the record companies.Genres
