{"id":547361259581,"title":"Futuristic Rhythms: Imagining the Later Bix Beiderbecke","handle":"2244","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his all-too-brief life, Bix Beiderbecke achieved what so many musicians aspire to: a truly unique and personal voice. He was an innovator. His pioneering use of introspection and understatement, the boldness of his harmonic language, his tone itself -- all would echo far downstream in the course of jazz history. His death in 1931 at age 28 has led generations of admirers to wonder what might have been. How would Bix have negotiated the changes in jazz and in the music business over the decades? Would he have gracefully taken a less prominent (yet certainly not less dignified) role, like his pal, Frankie Trumbauer? Would he have remained a celebrated master of his own time, as Sidney Bechet did? Would he have blended in seamlessly, his undisturbed genius soaring above any apparent changes, like, say, Coleman Hawkins? Imagine if Bix had had the chance to play with a Benny Goodman quartet, or jam with a Count Basie small group, or an Eddie Condon band. Imagine how sweet it would be to find out what that sounded like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this recording, cornetist Andy Schumm and an all-star group provide a tantalizing glimpse into what might have been had Bix lived longer. In his appearances across the globe, Schumm has established himself as today's foremost interpreter of the \"Bix sound,\" able to reproduce faithfully Bix's legendary bell-like tone and his sophisticated sense of rhythm and harmony. The band includes a \"who's who\" of British and American musicians, including Ewan Bleach (clarinet and tenor sax), Andrew Oliver (piano), Martin Wheatley (guitar), Tom Wheatley (bass), and Nicholas D. Ball (drums). The CD includes a 12-page illustrated booklet with liner notes by Julio Schwarz Andrade. 12 selections. 54 minutes of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRivermont catalogue number: BSW-2244\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormats available:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudio CD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApple Lossless\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003edigital download \/ no physical product\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMP3\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003edigital download \/ no physical product\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are purchasing a digital download and you do not know whether your playback device is compatible with Apple Lossless, we recommend the universally-compatible MP3 format.

Andy Schumm and His Sink-O-Pators

Futuristic Rhythms: Imagining the Later Bix Beiderbecke

$15.95
Maximum quantity available reached.

In his all-too-brief life, Bix Beiderbecke achieved what so many musicians aspire to: a truly unique and personal voice. He was an innovator. His pioneering use of introspection and understatement, the boldness of his harmonic language, his tone itself -- all would echo far downstream in the course of jazz history. His death in 1931 at age 28 has led generations of admirers to wonder what might have been. How would Bix have negotiated the changes in jazz and in the music business over the decades? Would he have gracefully taken a less prominent (yet certainly not less dignified) role, like his pal, Frankie Trumbauer? Would he have remained a celebrated master of his own time, as Sidney Bechet did? Would he have blended in seamlessly, his undisturbed genius soaring above any apparent changes, like, say, Coleman Hawkins? Imagine if Bix had had the chance to play with a Benny Goodman quartet, or jam with a Count Basie small group, or an Eddie Condon band. Imagine how sweet it would be to find out what that sounded like.

For this recording, cornetist Andy Schumm and an all-star group provide a tantalizing glimpse into what might have been had Bix lived longer. In his appearances across the globe, Schumm has established himself as today's foremost interpreter of the "Bix sound," able to reproduce faithfully Bix's legendary bell-like tone and his sophisticated sense of rhythm and harmony. The band includes a "who's who" of British and American musicians, including Ewan Bleach (clarinet and tenor sax), Andrew Oliver (piano), Martin Wheatley (guitar), Tom Wheatley (bass), and Nicholas D. Ball (drums). The CD includes a 12-page illustrated booklet with liner notes by Julio Schwarz Andrade. 12 selections. 54 minutes of music.

The music of the 1920s is being honored by Rivermont Records

This music is wonderful and it brings back the Roaring 20s! The playing is first rate and the fidelity is perfect. It is easy to hear and the old songs are there.
rivermont records has a huge catalog and there is so much to choose from.

It is cheering me up while the rain is pouring down outside. Hurray for everyone on that label including Dan Levinson who is a personal friend of mine.

Thanks for carrying on the tradition!!!

THE NEARNESS OF BIX

The title recalls the Fields/McHugh composition which Bix recorded with Frankie Trumbauer, and the CD sets out to imagine what else Bix might have played had he lived longer. The concept is fleshed out by Andy Schumm on cornet and Ewan Bleach on clarinet and tenor sax, with piano, guitar, bass and drums. This is a fulsome tribute to one of early jazz’s best-remembered figures, but there’s no re-creation here, every track sounds freshly-minted. The selection ranges from ballads to up-tempo swingers, the standard of playing is uniformly excellent, and the two bonus tracks “San” and “Weary Blues” carry the frisson of an impromptu jam session. Rivermont has to be the label of choice for connoisseurs, and the quality of the recording is complemented by the richly-illustrated liner note, and the Jim Fiora influenced cover.
