Music Monday-Today in History:
Bix Beiderbecke, born March 10, 1903, was a brilliant early jazz musician whose style and sound was distinctive and unique, and his skill even made him a favorite of fellow trumpeter Louis Armstrong, who said they jammed together sometimes! #jazzhistory #jazz

Dancing alone in your kitchen is as valuable to society as competing and performing

“I wish jazz were played more often for dancing…The rhythm of the dancers comes back to you when you’re playing”
— Lester Young, 1956
