Notes
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 Sidney Bechet joue Sidney Bechet, which consisted of brilliant performances by Bechet of his own compositions, such as the immortal “Petite fleur”.
