      There's so much "Bix Style" in Artie's playing on this recording. Especially on the break near the end. Using one's imagination, for every note Artie plays, substitute it for the Bix sound. Perhaps, if Bix had lived on into the Swing Era, is this how he would have sounded fronting his own big band.
      Artie's always been under the influence of Bix. In the late 1920's he intended to retire and write a book about Bix. Sadly, it never materialised. Even in his nineties, Artie was still full of enthusiasm for the Goldkette Band and Bix's solo on "Clementine".
