Cool Horn – Red Hot Performance

I was thinking of how I could link our innovative range of sonic horns with some of my favourite film stars and in the end the answer was simple - Bix Beiderbecke!

Leon Bismark "Bix" Beiderbecke (March 10, 1903 – August 6, 1931) was an American jazz cornetist, jazz pianist, and composer. With Louis Armstrong, Beiderbecke was one of the two most influential jazz soloists of the 1920s. A native of Davenport, Iowa, Beiderbecke taught himself to play cornet largely by ear, leading him to adopt a non-standard fingering that some critics have connected to his original sound. He first recorded with the Midwestern jazz ensemble the Wolverines in 1924.

So what is the link with ‘the stars’?

Well following Dorothy Baker’s book, loosely based on the life of Bix Beiderbeche, a film was made in 1950 which starred three of my all time favorites – Kirk Douglas (Bix), Lauren Bacall (Amy North) and my darling Doris Day (Jo Jordan). The firm was directed by Michael Curtiz (of Casablanca fame) and produced by Jerry Wald. It was a white-hot drama about a red-hot jazzman. It was the legendary Harry James who dubbed Douglas’ hornwork and of course another fine instrument was featured in the film, the voice of Doris Day!

The Primasonics range of Sonic Horns offer red hot performance and dynamic solutions in eliminating particular build up that never fails to impressl

Just like the horn blowing of Bix!
