Summary:
"Cornetist/pianist/composer Leon '
Bix
'
Beiderbecke
(
1903-1931
) was jazz's man who got away -- the James Dean, Jim Morrison, and Kurt Cobain of his day. Born in Davenport, Iowa into an upper-middle-class family,
Beiderbecke
became a legend even in his short lifetime, bringing amazing new energy and unprecedented maturity to the music and influencing generations of musicians. After a bout battling alcoholism,
Bix
died in Sunnyside, Queens on August 6, 1931. The cause of death was lobar pneumonia. He was 28. Using archival photographs and rare footage (including the three sole momentary fragments capturing
Bix
on film) and interviews with friends and colleagues (including jazz greats Hoagy Carmichael, Doc Cheatham, Artie Shaw, et al.), Oscar winner Brigitte Berman's acclaimed documentary (which won the Bronze Hugo at the Chicago International Film Festival) paints a vivid portrait of a vanished era and brings to life the only cornetist Louis Armstrong regarded as an equal (the quotation in the film's title was once spoken by Armstrong). New restoration by Oren Edenson with a fully remastered soundtrack by Daniel Pellerin."--Container.
