I am not 100% sure, but, I believe that my younger brother (one of the real musicians in the family, a category that does not include me), whose performance degree from the Boston Conservatory was in trumpet, would point out that Bix was a cornetist...
My brother was once playing through a book of Bix solos and some teenaged wit walking past the house (on Waterman Street in Providence, so near Brown and RISD) yelled "Freebird!!!"
