Sidney Bechet Petite fleur His 48 Finest 1923-1953

Description

Duke Ellington liked to say that "Bechet was jazz incarnate." Sidney Bechet was indeed one of the greatest jazz artists of his time, rivaling Louis Armstrong. He created a unique language for his chosen instrument: the soprano saxophone. The album Petite Fleur, named after Bechet's hit, includes 2 CDs that showcase a remarkable career, from his very first recording Wild Cat Blues in 1923 to his later years in Paris. Bechet's compositions are interspersed with true masterpieces of jazz, including works by Tommy Ladnier, Muggy Spanier, Vic Dickenson, Mezz Mezzrow, and the indispensable Louis Armstrong. No jazz collection is complete without the finest tunes of Sidney Bechet, as this album demonstrates.
