Music reviews of Singin the Blues 1

Music Review: Worth the extra dollars.
Rating: 5 Stars

Currently, this is the best-selling Bix disc on Amazon. Don't even consider "The Art of B. B.," which is 2nd. It's a glossy import with gross errors in the song listings, revealing that the album's producers had no interest in or knowledge of music of Bix Beiderbecke. This Columbia anthology is well worth the extra dollars, produced by scholars with expertise, respect, and love concerning the music of Davenport, Iowa's legendary jazz man. The import, on the other hand, would hold potential value only to a specialist interested in importing the tunes to computer, correcting the titles, and then disposing of the album (for good). Placed in the hands of a novice, it could inflict irreparable damage.

In jazz's childhood, Bix Beiderbecke was the only cornet player to rival Satchmo in terms of influence on other musicians and on the development of the genre. Armstrong's syncopated delivery, his blues shadings, his unique phrasing--in short, his swing--became, rightly so, the benchmark, the standard by which jazz improvisation was not only judged, but actually defined. In a way, Bix represented both a practical and symbolic alternative to Armstrong. Though he was completely self-taught and couldn't read music, Bix's tone was incredibly pure, full, and lush, and his style was cooler, more restrained (but not reserved), and more plaintive than Louis's hot, ebullient playing--even though his actual tone remained bright and his note choices forceful. All of these 20 cuts come from 1927, and many of them rank among the finest performances of that classic era nudged between Dixieland and swing. A key component of these successes is Frankie Trumbauer, a remarkably fluent and lyrical C-melody sax player who was Beiderbecke's close friend and musical kindred spirit. The septet cuts from February and May are uniformly excellent, but "Singin' the Blues" (featuring Eddie Lang's prominent single-string guitar support), "Riverboat Shuffle," "I'm Comin' Virginia," and "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans" are astonishing landmarks in jazz history. Also worth noting are two trio cuts featuring Beiderbecke on piano supporting Trumbauer and Lang, and "In a Mist (Bixology)," a Bix piano solo full of bold, unorthodox melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. --Marc Greilsamer
