Bix - Ain't None of Them Play Like Him Yet DVD

This fascinating documentary chronicles the life and career of legendary jazz musician Leon Bix Beiderbecke, from his early beginnings as a child prodigy to his tragic death at age 28. Even before he could walk, Bix's astonishing melodic genius earned him the nickname "the musical wonder child." Unable to resist the energy of jazz, Bix devoted his life to this one true passion. From jam sessions at local dance halls, cabarets and speakeasys to orchestral performances in ballrooms and grand theatres across the nation, Bix pursued his love for music with ardent abandon. His beguiling tones and rapturous melodies were imitated and emulated, but never duplicated. Yet while the critics and fans adored him, Bix was plagued by his family's disapproval, an alcohol dependency and the changing musical times. Now, for the first time ever, this compelling documentary details Bix's story. Straight from the roots of jazz, it features rare interviews and performances from the era by such jazz legends as Louis Armstrong, Hoagy Carmichael, Doc Cheatham, Jack Fulton, Matty Malneck, Artie Shaw and Charlie Davis. It's a must for jazz aficionados and Playboy video collectors everywhere! Source: Image Entertainment, Inc.
