My Grandmother went to high school with Bix, and I grew up with her talking about her graduation, when Bix came back and played his new piece, The Davenport Blues. This is a beautiful version. Just love this.

I spent 5 of some of the best years of my life in Davenport, enjoying the Bix festival and all of the understated beauty and life of the area. I attended Palmer chiropractic college in the city and graduated in 1980, moving then to California. Listening to this moving piece transports me back to my time in the quad cities and vicariously back to the 20's.

Just lovely. Mom was from Davenport and I have many fond memories. When I was young there was a ferry ran from Rock Island to Davenport. My Dad used to get booze on Sundays there

You can get it on iTunes - do a search on Alex Welsh (make sure to spell it Welsh - if you spell it Welch nothing will come up. iTunes has a really dumb search engine!) ... and Davenport Blues is one of the first songs on the list. It's on the "Louis Armstrong Memorial Concert" album. If you don't have iTunes I'm sure you can find the CD online if you do a search.

I love the recording you found, MookRyan. Jim Cullum led a band last summer at Bix's graveside that performed an amazing version of this tune. Wish I had a recording of that one...

Listening to Bix makes me wonder if he was reborn as Chet Baker.

I believe it was originally recorded in 1971, on the Polydor label (Alex Welsh -Tribute To Louis Armstrong Vol 2, Polydor 2460124)

The definitive version has to be Bix. Really like this version, has such a haunting quality. Any one know when it was recorded? The earliest release date I can find is 1986 trouble is, Alex Welsh died in 1982
