Bix Beiderbecke was one of the most important figures in the early years of jazz, his trumpet and cornet performances influencing a host of contemporaries and later performers within the genre. Despite the brevity of his career - he succumbed to alcohol abuse at the age of 28 - he recorded a substantial body of work, both with his own early small bands such as the Wolverine Orchestra, and with the leading orchestras of the time led by Jean Goldkette, Frankie Trumbauer and Paul Whiteman. This great value 50-track 2-CD set brings together recordings from across his career, from his first session in 1924 through to his final session with Hoagy Carmichael in 1930. It features not only Bix, but many other top names of the era, and is a fine cross-section of Bix's work. It has been carefully selected to avoid duplication with any tracks on our existing Bix Beiderbecke CD on the Fabulous tag (FABCD144) so the two together will provide a fine overview of his work.
