	Swingtunes Catalog: Swingstuff
		Packed with video clips of vintage burger commercials, nostalgic clips of early burger joints, and interviews with America's foremost burger historians, including very rare footage of the McDonald Brothers first drive-in along with an interview with Richard McDonald, founder of the most successful hamburger chain in history.
		Along with these famous musicians are some more obscure performers from less commercial films that communicate a sense of what jazz-age song, dance and playing would have been like in the typical American nightclub.
		The only sound footage with legendary cornetist Bix Beiderbecke is also included.

	Bix Beiderbecke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leon Bix Beiderbecke was born in Davenport, Iowa to a middle-class family.
		Beiderbecke suffered health problems since a young age, though the relentless schedule of the road and heaving drinking leading to alcoholism began to contribute to and exacerbate a decline in his health.
		Beiderbecke's music features heavily in three British comedy-drama television series, all written by Alan Plater: The Beiderbecke Affair (1984), The Beiderbecke Tapes (1987) and The Beiderbecke Connection (1988).

		Book two was called The Beiderbecke Tapes and involved some mysterious casettes which were supposed to be of Bix, but turned out to be somethin far different.
		The Beiderbecke Affair is a charming mix of comedy and drama that has all the hallmarks of a classic detective thriller.
		Jul 9 2003, 02:37 AM The "Beiderbecke Affair" is genuinely wonderful, innocent, endearing - a magic mix which I don't think Plater was ever quite able to repeat.

		Bridget Berman did a very good job in assembling and editing this documentary film on the life and career of Leon Bix Beiderbecke, one of the seminal figures of early jazz.
		The story is riveting and ultimately very sad, as his life is snuffed out at the age of 28.

	The Beiderbecke Affair (Series 1 - 4 Volume Gift Boxed Set) : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Beiderbecke Affair is my favorite of the three Beiderbecke stories (The Beiderbecke Tapes and The Beiderbecke Connection are the second and third of the series).
		The music is a big plus in the video versions, with an excellent band playing the songs of Leon "Bix" Beiderbecke, jazz musician of The Twenties, who died tragically young, and whose cornet playing inspires Trevor and occasionally other characters, but alas, never Jill.
		Start with the The Beiderbecke Affair, not just because it is the first of the series, but because it is the best story.

		The series was inspired by musician Bix Beiderbecke (1903-31), the first white rival to the fl pioneers of jazz, who was also the first 'modern' musician to self-destruct through alcoholism.
		I suppose the Beiderbecke series (there were three) have become a kind of cult classic, for a very small cult.
		They were never likely to find a bigger audience: the unique, gently skewed quality of Alan Plater's writing isn't the sort of thing with mass market appeal, but as with jazz itself, the Beiderbeckes have become practically a language for a small core of followers.

		The BBC produced The Beiderbecke Affair in 1984 and in typical English sophistication managed to produce yet another BBC classic.
		The series swims in Beiderbecke tunes which is perhaps a bit over the top in places, however the bip bop does serve to keep the tension light and helps the story line in its movement forward.
		Of particular note is the well crafted dialogue which is filled with witty banter and subtle whimsy.

		The mean streets of 1980's Leeds play a comedy backdrop to this off the wall, but homely personal TV favourite.
		The trio of Beiderbecke series explore serious very relevant issues, but do it alongside gentle comedy, romance, and the mystery of what connects everything back to Bix Beiderbecke the Jazz musician.
		Extras aren't needed because at this price and 300 minutes of 'The Beiderbecke Affair' you have real value for money.

	Needcoffee.com DVD Review: The Beiderbecke Affair (1984)
		One day Trevor orders some records by the obscure jazz artist Beiderbecke (remember, this is 1984) for a very good price from a platinum blonde door-to-door saleswoman.
		While The Beiderbecke Affair is set in England during the early 80s and viewers might miss a few references, everyone can identify with the byzantine bureaucracy and small-minded corruption the characters deal with.
		The story isn’t fast paced, but that fits with the scope of having local people dealing with local problems.

	The Big Band Arrangers
		Even while working with Whiteman, Hayton recorded as a sideman with such musicians as Bix Beiderbecke, Frankie Trumbauer, Eddie Lang, Joe Venuti, Red Nichols and Miff Mole.
		At one time, the arrangement of "Sugar" was attributed to Ferdé Grofé, and the arrangement of "Singing The Blues" was attributed to Fud Livingston, but both are now known to be Challis arrangements.
		It is little recalled now, but it was Challis who assisted Beiderbecke in putting the music of his piano pieces (including "In a Mist") onto paper.
