Album Notes & Community Reviews

Paying joyous, highly energetic tribute to the legendary Bix Beiderbecke, the veteran guitarist and bandleader marshals an elite ensemble of traditional jazz stalwarts. The remarkably tight, deeply polyphonic interplay flawlessly captures the raucous, highly melodic spirit of the 1920s Chicago style within a pristine, high-fidelity studio environment.
