PLATINA MUZICALA: Bix Beiderbecke, "Singin’ The Blues"

Share

The Frankie „Tram” Trumbauer Orchestra feat. Bix Beiderbecke – Singin’ the Blues. The first minute of thBix Beiderbecke pe song is a sax solo by Trumbauer. The second minute is Bix’s cornet solo. The third minute features a short clarinet solo by Jimmy Dorsey, who was the clarinetist in Trumbauer’s Orchestra at that time.

The guitarist on this track is Eddie Lang. This song is considered a jazz classic because Bix and, to a lesser degree, Tram were able to make a slow-tempo jazz ballad swing. This ability to make slow-tempo swinging jazz would later be emulated by jazz musicians ranging from Lester Young to John Coltrane to Miles Davis. (Wikipedia)
