Description
Leon Bismark "Bix" Beiderbecke was an American jazz cornetist, jazz pianist, and composer. With Louis Armstrong and Muggsy Spanier, Beiderbecke was one of the most influential jazz soloists of the 1920s. His turns on "Singin' the Blues" and "I'm Coming, Virginia", in particular, demonstrated an unusual purity of tone and a gift for improvisation. With these two recordings, especially, he helped to invent the jazz ballad style and hinted at what, in the 1950s, would become cool jazz. "In a Mist", one of a handful of his piano compositions and one of only two he recorded, mixed classical influences with jazz syncopation. This compilation of songs put together in 1942 on Columbia C-29 are from singles in the 20's and 30's, the jacket is in very good shape with no rips or writing and a solid spine, minor flaking on the front pasted cover at the bottom a nice shiny displayable copy. The records all visually appear to be a minimum VG+ on the VJM scale and play wonderfully no distortion and no surface noise to speak of, please look at the pictures and ask any questions. I wipe records with a microfiber cloth I do not chemically clean them, always open to offers and thank you for looking.
