Real jazz from the late 20s. Bix Beiderbecke is one of the most interesting and tragic figures in jazz. He was born into a wealthy family in Ohio, and became enraptured with the jazz scene in Chicago. Contrary to his father's wishes, he Spent a lot of time at the speakeasies,  and in jazz clubs in the city. He died one night while driving home in a cold rainy night in his Stutz Bearcat. Some notables in this album, include Pee Wee Russell, and a young Bing Crosby.
