New Photo of Bix Discovered

According to Bix scholar Albert Haim, Great American Songbook maven Michael
Feinstein
<https://syncopatedtimes.com/michael-feinstein-preserving-the-great-american-songbook/>
has
unearthed a previously unknown photo of Bix Beiderbecke
<https://syncopatedtimes.com/bix-beiderbecke/>. The photo, which was in a
scrapbook belonging to Wolverines pianist and leader Dick Voynow, shows Bix
flanked by two other men in golf togs. The other subjects in the photo have
been tentatively identified as Wolverines trombonist Al Gande to the
viewer’s left, and reedman Johnny Hartwell to the viewer’s right.

Michael Feinstein informed bandleader Vince Giordano of his find, and that
the scrapbook also included the known photo of the Wolverines in the
Gennett train station. On August 7, Giordano let Haim know that the Bix
photos had been donated to the Great American Songbook Foundation in the
care of GASF Archivist Lisa Lobdell.

Lisa Lobdell scanned the photos, including the hitherto unknown image, and
sent the scans to Albert Haim who showed them to the online public on
August 20.- Andy Senior
