Came across the following quote from Newell "Spiegle" Willcox, who played
with Bix, and was commenting about their recorded music during the 1920's:
>From an interview with Richard Sudhalter in 1975.
"The records never sounded the way we did in person. They're just a shadow,
a hint. Bix - well, you can't begin to imagine, listening to those records,
what his tone really sounded like. You had to be there. You could never
imagine it without hearing it for yourself."
Cheers,
Steve Barbone
