  • Description

    Limited edition - 180g blue coloured virgin vinyl - the complete album + 4 bonus tracks. 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 plays Sidney Bechet, which consisted of brilliant performances of his own compositions, including the immortal 'Petite fleur'.

    ****AllMusic: "Sidney Bechet, the first great jazz horn soloist to be featured on records, was a remarkable soprano saxophonist and clarinettist. He dominated ensembles and was such a dazzling soloist that he ended up being the favourite musician of both Duke Ellington and John Coltrane." (Scott Yanow)
