[Shaw, Tim]

Django? Monk? Bechet - who was the only one equal to Louis in 1923 judging from Blue5 records

The only musician I can think of who was "as fertile or adventurous an improvisor as Bix" was Louis.  None other came within that bracket.  Any comparisons should be made with others, and that is another story altogether.
Cheers

To state that Tram wasn't as fertile or adventurous an improvisor as Bix is not to "complain" about him or suggest that he wasn't an important figure in jazz history or to deny his (and others') expanding the roles of their instruments. I repeat (and it's only an opinion, of course): Tram wasn't as fertile or adventurous an improvisor as Bix. If every player had to be a Giant of Jazz, my record collection would be pared down to a few artists, if I could indeed identify the Giants. There's good stuff all around, but it's also useful to exchange ideas about the contributions of many jazz artists.
