Notes
Decades before Kenny G there was only one undisputed king of the soprano sax, and it was Sidney Bechet! He is one of the first soloists in jazz music, and the first true sax legend. Some of his best studio recordings ever are presented on this beautifully packaged 3 CD set. Six complete albums with amazing sound quality and legendary playing. Includes a comprehensive 20-page booklet.
