The late great #PhilSchaap used to talk about him every March 10th on the #WKCR #BixBeiderbeckeBirthdayBroadcast when they play 24hrs straight of just Bix. Plus on his #TraditionsInSwing radio show. Folks like you are treasures! 🙏

#PhilSchaap was declared by #MaxRoach an expert on #Bird; I've listened to Phil's (now deceased) daily morning show #BIrdflight consisting of nothing but #Bird for 90 minutes a day every weekday for 30+ years. He said #Relaxin'AtCamarillo was the essence of Bebop. I agree; it plays in my head a lot🎷
