Bix Beiderbecke 1927-31
For the finest sound of the classic sides of Bix Beiderbecke from 1927-1931, the Hot Club recommends the mastering work of John R.T. Davies. The Sunbeam CD set “Bix Restored” includes the complete discography of Bix Beiderbecke with Davies’s tranfers.

Although the CD is out of print secondhand copies are much easier to acquire than the original 78s.
