Bix’s Diary: January 21, 1927

After playing through Christmas and New Year’s, the Goldkette band wraps up its appearance at the Graystone Ballroom in Detroit. (Regarding the New Year’s Eve appearance, D.A.C. Magazine reported that “Jean Goldkette gives orders, ‘to toot to kill until there isn’t a shake left in the most festive hoof.’”) Tonight the boys leave for New York and another gig at the legendary Roseland.

This is one in a series of posts following the career of early jazz musician Bix Beiderbecke. The diary is based on the research found in Bix: The Leon Bix Beiderbecke Story by Philip R. and Linda K. Evans.

  • The banner image is a detail from Grant Wood’s “Young Corn.” Now owned by the Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Community School District, it was painted in 1931: the same year Bix Beiderbecke died and a year after Wood painted “American Gothic.”
