Sidney Bechet
Revered in France during the last decade of his life, Sidney Bechet
was one of the seminal forces in the roots of New Orleans jazz
and the first musician to give the soprano sax a voice in jazz. This
release presents the complete LP The Fabulous Sidney Bechet
(Blue Note BLP 1207), featuring two brilliant sextet sessions by the
saxophonist on which he is teamed alternatively with trumpeters
Sidney DeParis and Jonah Jones. Eight bonus tracks have been
added, among them Bechet's "One-man Band" sides (on which
he played all of the instruments by means of overdubbing), and his
classic renditions of "Summertime", "Strange Fruit", "Si tu vois ma
mère" and the immortal "Petite fleur".
