Grossartig! Powerful ! Love it🌹❤️🌹

What a rare and thrilling opportunity to hear Bix's mind at work on the same tune across three takes! They're all masterpieces. No WAY would or could I pick a favorite. (As always, your transfers are works of art in and of themselves.)

Who are you Atticus Jazz? You make every morning a joy with these posts. - Brian

[@colinball9032]

amazing solos from Bix, each completely different plus a very tricky soli passage- a true genius

[@MCheffins]

Finally figured out that the last track on Robert Crumb’s “Heroes of Blues Country and Jazz” accompanying CD was incorrectly titled…leading me to discover this stunning world of Bix, Crosby and Whiteman…like an alternate universe of the jazz I’ve known and loved so far; the gift of old jazz and records just seems to keep giving. Thank you for sharing, and pairing these takes with such intriguing and beautiful illustrations!

[@billbrydon3725]

Great! I love the "all takes" format!

[@roybo1930]

I saw someone say in a reply, Paul Whiteman was just a commercial dance orchestra mostly lackluster and flat! Well these Records RIP this comment to SHREADS! All Three are AWESOME and SASSY HOT! Paul Whiteman`s Orchestra is one of the very best ( For Me anyway!) ! Listen to the Heat that is put into this set of Records, Then listen to the Haunting and thrilling ending on each! I get chills listening to these! I have one of the 6 takes (I think there was 6!!??) version Victor 21274! "Mississippi Mud" on the flip! A Record with AWESOMENESS on both sides! A very great Friend of Mine went wild over this Record, ML just bought a E- copy off ebay! He just had to have it!

Bix Beiderbecke sounds like "big spider bite" if you say it fast enough. Bix was really good. Understatement.

[@clarinetssaxesandflutesohmy]

I am a musician, and I have colleague who is deathly afraid of spiders. When we first met, and discussing what we might play before the job started, I asked if she was into any older Jazz, like Bix Beiderbecke. Poor thing grabbed my arm and almost shouted, "WHAT?! WHERE?!" I guess she saw the shocked, bewildered look on my face, but didn't calm down entirely. "Did you just ask me if I knew a big spider was over there?" Ever since, I always have to take care to say, "Bix-the-cornet-player Beiderbecke" whenever I discuss his music with her.

Bix : the epitome of a jazz man . Incapable of playing a remotely similar opening hot break ..

[@jeffreycraven8154]

Every damned time do it different, that a true musician. Bix!

[@Women_Rock]

Hard to find anyone who plays tunes as hot as these.

[@judywarner6830]

Wonderful !! All 3 takes & those calendars !! Thank you, Atticus Jazz !!

[@ulexite-tv]

Take 3 is my favourite of them all -- the transitions between the various passages are more seamless and less jerky.

[@amberola1b]

The first one played is my favorite.

[@johnwhitehead3360]

Great Thank You

[@gloriascali9607]

BIX. MARAVILLOSO,UNICO E IRREPETIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@solet579]

Always surprising and fantastic!! Thank you, have a nice sunday!

[@grahamrankin]

Fabulous upload ! Quite superb.

[@HMinot]

Three takes! What could be better?

[@jeffreycraven8154]

One of my favorite tunes & 78s a grandmother gave me in 1972, then I got a Boxed set of Bix's recording. Don't think I've heard it in atleast 20 years. I surprised myself still singing right along with Bing, & when the whole band came in scatting right long to Bix leading the pack, think I missed one phrase. I believe it's the third take I have on recordings. Of all the girlfriends I ever had only had one that loved this kind of music & we had a ball dancing to it in the 1980. Eileen, wherever you are, we had some great fun.

[@solet579]

I've just seen that my father was born on sunday, at one of your beautiful calendars...

[@hander1952]

Thanks Emrah!

[@anthonyspinelli4064]

I Love this!

[@rogerkent7577]

Thanks for posting these fascinating takes-I like the first one which features the energetic string bass of Steve Brown,although my favourite version is the middle one(?take 4) which has some lovely interwoven clarinet towards the end (This was on a c.1980 Bix and Bing tape cassette) The final take is the one I have on a 1928 78 which I foolishly paid £20 for a long time ago,thinking it was the previous take!

What are those skeleton head things? They're really neat!

[@Atticus70]

These are leaves from the Antikamnia calendar, issued only for the years 1899-1901. Louis Crusius who created them was a pharmacist and surgeon as well as an artist. He created these humorous drawings for promotional calendars distributed by Antikamnia, a pharmaceutical company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. Among the medicines Antikamnia manufactured were painkillers that contained opium and cocaine.

[@giovannirivoira5496]

Bix solos have the same sound of your girlfriend saying "yes"...(from Dick Sudhalter book:Bix man and legend".....It's true!!!

[@Paolo8772]

I knew this as a kid in the late 70's and early 80s but I never knew Bing Crosby was one of the singers! BTW What do the numbers mean after people or groups of people under solos?

[@thatrecord5313]

The real question is, which solo of Bix's did you like the most?

[@VTMCompany]

Best = take 3 on Victor 27688

[@t.tocsmaillup8685]

.."BIX STOOD AND TOOK A SOLO. THOSE PRETTY 🎶'S WENT ALL THROUGH ME" (SATCHMO)... "LIKE A GIRL SAYING "YES"....."AIN'T NEVER HEARD A WHITE BOY PLAY DA' BLUES LIKE DAT" (BLACK WOMAN CRYING AFTER BIXIE REMOVES HIS PAPER BAG LADEN BACH ON A STREET CORNER AND PLAYS A LICK)
