This 2-CD set "BIX - A Tribute to Bix Beiderbecke" is a homage to an often forgotten legend and key figure in jazz. Besides Louis Armstrong, American jazz cornetist and pianist Leon Bismark 'Bix' Beiderbecke was one of the most influential jazz soloists of the 1920s. With his unusual purity of tone and a gift for improvisation, he helped to invent the jazz ballad style and hinted at what, in the 1950s, would become Cool Jazz.
