Bix – The Definitive Biography Of A Jazz Legend
Book (Item 604874) Continuum, 2007 — Condition: New Copy
A biography of jazz coronet pioneer Bix Beiderbecke – a bit that's been awarded for the deep research that author Jean Peirre Lion put into it! Bix's story is a fascinating one – a heavy drinker during The Prohibition era, when one swag of bad hooch could kill you – and one of the most revered players by his peers and many jazz historians. A rich, comprehensive story of a great musician in a fascinating era. It's illustrated nicely, too – the photos that bring the words to life. Paperback, 348 pages. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
