From Jean Pierre Lion's Bix bio: "... the musical value of 'Sentimental Baby' is near zero. The singer called on for that date, Charles Gaylord, amplifies the disaster by inflicting on these sides the worst vocals that Frank Trumbauer ever had to endure - a difficult feat, as possible candidates for that distinction were many."
Tim Okasa I love the Bix solo on this record. Played with my equipment it sounds even better than this restoration and whenever I play it, it breaks my heart into pieces...
Atticus Jazz I didn't mean to cast aspersions on your musical taste, only that Mssr. Lion's quote is both amusing and spot on, at least in regards to Charles Gaylord... I can't imagine the sound you get straight off your 78's, I'm envious. Cheers!
Wow, who told Tram to let that guy sing? The ensemble work is good, not glittering, as so much of Bix's work was. In my mp3 jukebox, this will get tagged as "play no more than once a year."
Charles Gaylord was one of Paul Whiteman's vocalists; Okeh insisted he sing on this one- and several other sides- because they wanted to appeal to more "mainstream" record buyers at the time.
Gaylord sang mostly in trios and quartets, and was no soloist. Rube Crozier on bassoon isn't a good rhythm player either, dragging things a bit and playing his bass notes too long.

Heaven would be great if Bix were playing there!
Never heard it before¬ incredible! Belated thanks!
Rare bassoon bass! Fascinating
Beautiful. Haven't heard Bill Rank playing so much on any recording - great. Thanks.
I'd give anything to be permitted to go back in time and play my horn/ trumpet just for one hour with these icons. Especially Bix
L'assolo di Bix è una dichiarazione d'amore
Nice tune and singing; best Bill Rank work I've ever heard!
Fantastic solo by Bix
yeah, even rather mournful.
And the Mystery Drummer strikes YET again!
THUMP! CRASH!
Splendido pezzo!!
Very nice. I have several of this on c/d and 78 but not this one......it's a favorite.
Nice and relaxing....and a jazz "evergreen".
what do you mean by “evergreen”
It retains its freshness and popularity over the years- in this case, to jazz enthusiasts.
that bassoon tho.

Bix iluminaba a la más mediocre interpretación...
Era la luz..!!!!

Mark Riley If you think Gaylord was bad, he's got nothing on Trumbauer himself! Pretty dire!
This is what my dad referred to as "a whiskey tenor."
to me it just add that 1920s elegant crooning, and make this record even more awesome
