Happy Birthday to Bix Beiderbecke on his
107th birthday anniversary
One
of the legendary figures in Jazz, Leon ‘Bix’ Beiderbecke was born in Davenport,
Iowa on March 10th, 1903. His role as a ‘legend’ would have probably
been amusing to him, had he lived long enough to know about it. For Bix died at
the age of 28 after a tragic life-story. Beiderbecke began when he was 15, and
like thousands of other white boys, was inspired by records of the Original
Dixieland Jazz band and by hearing bands on the Mississippi River boarts. He
started picking out tunes on the piano. He joined the Cascades Band in Chicago,
played on the Great Lakes Steamer excursion boats, and met the young Benny
Goodman. Now, in 1923, a band called the New Orleans Rhythm Kings was playing in
Chicago. It was the first important white band in Jazz history and among those
which brought to Chicago the authentic source music of New Orleans. It was their
music that influenced the style of Bix and the Wolverines when they began
playing in 1924. The Wolverines was the first white band composed entirely of
non New Orleans musicians. In 1926 he worked with Frankie Trumbauer and, with
him, moved on to the bands of Jean Goldkette and Paul Whiteman two years later.
During his last year he tried out with the Casa Loma orchestra and played with
pick-up bands in New York—including sessions with Benny Goodman, Red Nichols and
others. He really was a key figure in the development of jazz. Hoagy Carmichael
remarked in his typically wry fashion: " When I first heard Bix play I nearly
fell off the Davenport! " ( which may or may not have been a reference to his
home town and —"The Davenport Blues." Many a musician and jazz critic has rated
Bix Beiderbecke as the greatest cornet player of all time, based on purity and
classical precision.
