ISSUE 15: SIDNEY BECHET
The Magazine
One of the most gifted and expressive musicians ever to play jazz, Sidney Bechet was also its first master of the soprano saxophone. In an extraordinary career that began in New Orleans and ended in France, he worked with the finest jazzmen of his time and matched them all.
The Music
Bechet's tone, said Louis Armstrong, was like a jug of golden honey. His ravishing playing on both soprano sax and clarinet is spread over nearly two decades of recordings such as 'Summertime', 'Shag', 'Maple Leaf Rag', 'Nobody Knows The Way I Feel Dis Mornin'' and 'Really The Blues'.
