Bix Beiderbecke Biography

As a teenager he would sneak off to the banks of the Mississippi to listen to the bands play on the riverboats that would come up from the south.

His early influences were mostly New Orleans jazz cornetists. His first big influence was Nick LaRocca of the Original Dixieland Jass Band; the LaRocca evidence is evident in a number of Bix's recordings (especially the covers of O.D.J.B.

tunes), although Bix far surpasses LaRocca both in technique and ideas.

Other influences included "King" Joe Oliver and Louis Armstrong, and clarinetist Leon Roppolo. Bix's famous two note interjection on "Goose Pimples" puzzles some of his fans unfamiliar with the older New Orleans players, but is appropriate and unsurprising to those familiar with the style of Freddie Keppard.
