Why is Harry James often not spoken of?
Thanks to Marvel's Captain America - perhaps that will change as a new generation hears

| Watched "Young Man With a Horn" last night. Great movie, great cast, sad story. Music was fantastic! I enjoyed the way Kirk Douglas "lip synced" to Harry James really playing. Thanks kehaulani! |

Not sure how accurate this is, but I heard years ago this was supposedly pretty close to a biopic on Bix originally, but Hollywood had to give it a happy ending.

| I believe that the movie is supposed to be based somewhat on Bix Beiderbecke's life & career. |

I just mentioned that, guys. There is no resemblance to that, living or dead, and Bix's life story. Hollywood hype.

Anyone care to elucidate how "Beiderbecke" is pronounced?
(phonetically, please)
