Music Pick: Bix and Tram

 Cornet great Bix Beiderbecke (1903-1931) waxed 137 his 273 recordings with Paul Whiteman's orchestra, the most popular pop/jazz orchestra of the late 20's and early 30's. The featured piece, "You took advantage of me" from April 25, 1928, may be the best and features a "chase" chorus between Bix on cornet and his musical soul mate Frankie Trumbauer (1901-1956) on C Melody Sax, an instrument popular during early jazz that his virtually disappeared from the music biz. The singer who follows Bix and Tram ain't bad either, a rising young crooner nicknamed Bing.
