Bix Beiderbecke: Jazz Age Genius

112 pp. | Morgan | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-883846-36-6
(4) YA Notable Americans series. In an effortless, flowing narrative, Collins sketches the short life of a musical genius who revolutionized the playing of jazz cornet. Marred by occasional fictionalized dialogue, the biography effectively mixes clear descriptions of Bix's musical contributions with an empathetic account of his conflicted life--which ended tragically as a result of his alcoholism. Black-and-white photos accompany the text. Bib., ind.
