Source Saturday: "Bix" with Scott Chantler

Eisner-nominated cartoonist Scott Chantler talks about his new book Bix, which follows the life of 1920s jazz legend Bix Beiderbecke. Scott and I talk about the movement and characterization of the story and illustration, and the ways he has been able to capture an important life in the history of American Jazz.
