Frederick W. Turner 1929 Thorndike Press 2004 0786260629 / 9780786260621 Hardcover New with no dust jacket; . Book is BRAND NEW! No remainder mark. ; 1.29 x 8.88 x 5.5 Inches; 534 pages; By 1929, the brief, brilliant career of Bix Beiderbecke - self-taught cornetist, pianist, and composer - had already become legend. As his genius blazed forth with a strange, doomed incandescence, Bix's career tragically reflected the chaotic impulses of the country. Colored by some of the age's most popular characters - Maurice Ravel, Bing Crosby, Al Capone, Duke Ellington - 1929 brilliantly illuminates a period in history, personified in this gifted, compelling, and melancholy figure.
