Bix Beiderbecke's life-story was so tragic, it still has the power to affect one deeply. However, in his case, what remains alongside the confused heap of anecdotes and hearsay are his recordings, all of them made within in a span of just five remarkable years. Here we enter the real world of Bix Beiderbecke, a universe created by a mind of a superior order. Bix's world is filled with clarity and bathed in light. It was clear to everybody involved in this project that a slavish recreation of the masterworks of the past would be off-limits. New ways needed to be found to bring the musicians and listeners closer to Beiderbecke's life, to the man himself. So a group of very different musicians was assembled not entirely at random - to undertake this project. Each of them brought his or her strong individual personality, in order to illuminate the subject from their own particular angle. It would be quite wrong, however, to see this album as an unified and ready-made artistic product from just one drawing board. This is a balanced collection of completely individual contributions, which add up to a whole that is far greater than the sum of its parts. CD1 contains interpretation of Beiderbecke material; CD2 contains original Beiderbecke recordings.
