Synopsis

Album Description
Leon "Bix" Beiderbecke was truly one of the greatest Jazz coronet players of his day. Legend has it that he drank as hard as he played, in speakeasies selling low quality prohibition liquor, and hence died at an early age. The music contained in these recordings, although sometimes rough due to the recording technology of the time, reflects the true flavor of the "Roaring Twenties" Jazz scene. Just listening to these recordings brings to mind visions of flappers, bootleggers, and gangsters and propels the listener back in time to the Jazz age in all its excess and glory!
