BBC Radio 3 - Geoffrey Smith's Jazz, Bix Beiderbecke

Geoffrey Smith celebrates the music of cornettist, pianist and composer Bix Beiderbecke.

Bix Beiderbecke is the doomed youth of 1920's jazz, a tender talent snuffed out all too soon. But there's joy and brilliance in his music too, a legacy for later generations which Geoffrey Smith will celebrate.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
