[Dixielandjazz] My Sweeter Than Sweet

[Stan Brager]

Looking at the Amazon information about Bix Restored Vol. 5., there is a
statement that it covers not only Bix but Bix' influence on other cornetists
and trumpeters. "My Sweeter Than That" could fall into the latter category.

To anyone in the know,
In the latest Victorian Jazzline magazine, there is a revue for a CD
entitled "Hot Syncopated Rhythms of the 1920's & 30's". One of the tracks
mentioned is "My Sweeter  Than Sweet" by Frank Trumbauer and His Orchestra
with Bix on cornet, recorded 19th October 1929. I referred to "Bix The Leon
Bix Beiderbecke Story", by Evans & Evans, and I can find no mention of this
tune being recorded by Bix with anybody on any date, although it was on the
radio, July 30th 1930.
On the 14th October, he was admitted to the Keeley Institute in Illinois and
was in there until he checked himself out on the 18th November. According to
what I can find, Andy Secrest played cornet on this track.
I know new things come to light every day and old recordings are unearthed,
one of the reasons for "Bix Restored" Volume 5 being released. Has new
evidence emerged since the Evans & Evans book was released in 1998?
Kind regards to all
Peter L
