Bix Beiderbecke radio special Sunday night

[WestCoast Ghost]

I've produced a one-hour special on Bix Beiderbecke that's airing Sunday night at 9 p.m. on WFIU Bloomington, IN, with special guest Richard Sudhalter. You can find the URL on Alan Lankin's webcast page:

WFIUBix (http://home.att.net/~lankina/jazz/webcasts.html)

Hope this doesn't count as spam! Monday is Bix's 100th birthday, by the way.

Wow, you mean I can listen to it over the internet?

[WestCoast Ghost]

Yes, you should be able to; WFIU has a good webcast stream, and Alan's link takes you directly to it. I'm looking for feedback, constructive criticism, etc., as this was a one-off to get my feet wet for doing a series on the history of Indiana jazz (and some other jazz radio projects, hopefully). I'll be playing some music that got left on the cutting-room floor on Monday, March 10 from 3:30-5 p.m. Thanks to those who posted their favorite Bix-tracks on that former, much-lamented board!

[WestCoast Ghost]

Up for broadcast in 45 minutes.

Great show. Are the Bix and Tram selections taken from the Mosaic set?

[WestCoast Ghost]

Thanks for listening! Yes, I took them from the Mosaic set. I thought the sound just a bit better than the versions on the BIX RESTORED series (although I used that series for most of the other tracks).

Although I was on my way back in town last night and couldn't get the show, I can attest to the time Ghost put into this program. I'm sure it was very well done, throughly researched and well executed, I wish I could have heard it!!!:(

[WestCoast Ghost]

Thanks so much for posting, guys. I think the station is going to archive it online--I'll let you you when we do. In lieu of that, I'll be happy to send a CD-R to anybody who wants one.

Count me in!
