American Band's Alphabetical Index A B C D ...

I look at it like this, swing is my idea of how a melody should go. Now I ask you what is swing without drums?" -Big Sid Catlett. At the age of 17 Catlett played his first professional gig, with Darnell Howard's Band at the Club Arlington in Chicago. He developed his talents in a number of bands with various styles before making it to New York and the Benny Carter band in 1931. The Catlett drumming style in the early days helped form the hot tempo of such recordings as Fletcher Henderson's, "Jangled Nerves," and "Stealin' Apples," as well as Louis Armstrong's, "Jeepers Creepers." After leaving Armstrong, Bid Sid was immediately hired by Benny Goodman, where he really 'sparked' Goodman's great 1941 orchestra. (Peggy Lee and Art Lund, Vocs; Mel Powell on piano; Sid Weiss on bass; Vito Musso, Clint Neagley, Julie Schwartz, George Berg and Chuck Gentry on Saxes; Lou McGarity and Cutty Cutshall on trombones; Billy Butterfield, Jimmy Maxwell and Al Davis on trumpets; Catlett on drums; and Guitarist Tommy Morgan.) He worked with Don Redman, Armstrong, Roy Eldridge and Eddie Condon before he formed his own band in 1944. The quartet played from coast to coast and recorded a handful of sides while in Los Angeles.

Home Programming Music Events ... Contact Last Updated: March 25, 2004 Bix Beiderbecke Singin' the Blues Riverboat Shuffle In a Mist Bix Beiderbecke, piano (Sept. 9, 1927) Clementine (From New Orleans) To those of us in Iowa the name of Bix Beiderbecke brings to mind the yearly jazz festival on the river in Davenport, or the well-known marathon race in the same city. However, seventy years ago the moniker "Bix" meant only one thing-the jazz cornetist who was a major, but not necessarily well-known figure of the time. Along with young Louis Armstrong, he became a most influencial figure. His personality and music were the opposite of the great Armstrong. Where Louis was outgoing and effervescent, Bix was quiet and introspective. Where Louis' music was hot and sharp, Bix's was cooler and more lyrical. Louis played trumpet; Bix, cornet. Bix had a bell-like sound as he hit each note perfectly with a sure attack. Bix may have been the first "cool" jazzman. His rhythmic sophistication and subtle phrasing gives musical pleasure even through the primitive recording techniques. Critics and historians acknowledge "Singing the Blues" as his finest recorded solo; "I'm Comin' Virginia" is not far behind. Beiderbecke was also fascinated with the classical impressionist music of Claude Debussy. He wrote several tunes for the piano, carefully notated by arranger Bill Challis, since Bix could not write music. His best known would be "In a Mist." Dorothy Baker's novel "Young Man with the Horn" began Bix Beiderbecke's popular legend, but he was a legendary figure even before that following Otis Ferguson's 1936 essay and reappraisal in The New Republic magazine. The apogee of his career may have been with the ponderous Paul Whiteman orchestra, but it was also his home away from home. Like many of that "bootleg booze" generation, Bix Beiderbecke had a major alcohol problem, it shortened his career. Whiteman carried him for a long time.
