The Complete OKeh & Brunswick Bix Beiderbecke, Frank Trumbauer &am

[jeffcrom]

I love Trumbauer

We may have had a thread on this before, but does anybody still play the C Melody Sax?

gregmo

Braxton and Scott Robinson, that I know of.

[AllenLowe]

on my upcoming CD I play one cut on C melody.

It's a strange instrument, doesn't cut through the rhythm section, so it's easy to over-blow. But I like it.

After a long goodbye now it's gone.

I never really wanted it. But now it's gone I kinda do....

I'm glad I got mine as soon as it hit Running Low - all the Bix I will ever need.

You'll regret it maybe not today or tomorrow but soon and for the rest of your life...

That's a pity because then you won't have the Wolverine recordings,

The Victor session with 'I'll be a friend with "pleasure"',

Not Goldkette's 'Clementine' (available at the Red Hot Jazz Archive http://www.redhotjazz.com/goldo.html and scroll down recordings are in alphabetical order) or any of the Paul Whiteman recordings. You don't need them all but I wouldn't like to miss 'Lonley Melody'. Also available at the Red Hot Jazz Archive http://www.redhotjazz.com/pwo.html

Don't get fooled by the sound quality there.

If you decide you wan't it all after all the there is Bix Restored vol. 1 to 5 (13 CD's in all)

[mikeweil]

I once had a rather complete LP box set (in lousy sound quality, as it turned out), so I know what I'm missing. Given the limited time for listening I have at the moment, I can live without them for the moment. I considered Bix Restored, but they were harder to come by ...
