[Dixielandjazz] Jazz/Classics crossovers

[Hal Vickery]

I read somewhere once that Bix played into a derby so much near the end
because his tone was shot as a result of his drinking.  Do you know if there
is any truth to that assertion?

Sadly, too many potential great mements in music never arrived because 
the tempations of the booze, drugs, or other failures to a person's 
health cut them off from their final destination.
