Both admired and greatly benefitted from hearing the works of the early 20th century European impressionist composers...Whole tones, the keystone of impressionis, gave jazz a very important ingredient which innovators like Bix and George used to great advantage." - Tracklist: Somebody Loves Me, Oh, Lady Be Good I Got Rhythm, But Not For Me Kongo Kate, I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin’ I’ve Got a Crush On You, Rialto Ripples, The Half Of It Dearie Blues, S’Wonderful, Yankee Doodle Rhythm, Embraceable You, Sunny Diposish, In A Mist Already available through Arbors website (for $15)

There´s an interesting OFFICIAL CAB CALLOWAY ORCHESTRA WEBSITE. The Orchestra is still alive, conducted by Cab´s grandson!

BTW: there were some interesting opinions on Bix´s influence on jazz and on subsequent players in a thread at AAJ: Put your thoughts on BIX in this thread (not that I started it ) You may find the final posts quite hard to read (no avatars, no links, no separation). That´s because I restored by copy-and-pasting all the posts lost during AAJ breakdown.

So, you don´t like those Paul Whiteman arrangements, Lon? Now seriously, if you go through all the Sunbeam sets to have a overall impression of Bix´s legacy, listening just a few bars of Bix soloing here and there, you regret the limitations of length in 78 r.p.m. recordings, the non-soloist focus of the era... and above all, you regret Bix joined Paul Whiteman´s orchestra!!!

Ditto, Harold... except that mine are Agustinian stupid political opinions... B) Agustín

I don´t have it, but I guess it´s worth buying the new 2003 CD reissue of the album where this track was originally included http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&u...l=Aq9ouak4kam3b 8 new tracks: 7 alternates and, unless AMG is missing the point, a "Darn that dream" that was not originally included!!!

Any more guesses? There are still quite a few "un-nailed" tracks!!!

Nah, I usually post from work, and my boss would be very pleased to see that signature or Berigan´s avatar... Those hot Spaniards...

Headphones make my working day better!

According to Tom Lord´s discography, he only appears in 5 sessions, playing tenor sax, from 1974 to 1980.

Thanks a lot for that review, Lon!

No need to worry. You gave me a good opportunity to relisten to that happy man! B)
