Ralph Berton was privileged enough to have been a fan -- and younger brother of Bix's drummer -- just as Beiderbecke's genius was flowering, before he died in 1931 at age twenty-eight. Listening from behind the piano, tagging along to honky-tonks and jam sessions, Berton heard some of the most extraordinary music of the century, and he brings Bix and his era alive with a remarkable combination of the excitement of youth and the perspective of the five decades that followed -- decades that confirmed Bix's place in the pantheon of jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRalph Berton\u003c\/b\u003e (1910-1993) wrote extensively on jazz, serving as an editor at \u003ci\u003eMetronome\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDown Beat\u003c\/i\u003e magazines and as editor-in-chief of \u003ci\u003eSound and Fury\u003c\/i\u003e.
