Music reviews of Ken Burns JAZZ Collection: Sidney Bechet
Music Review: Oldies but goldies
Rating: 5 Stars
Although not an expert on Bechet's remarkable carreer, I have heard quite a few of his recordings over the years and I think these are among the best; avoiding his French phase in favor of his American roots...
And he really diggs into the tunes; his company is mostly fine or more than fine, varying widely (it includes Louis Armstrong, Clarence Williams, Tommy Ladnier, Ernie Caceres, Muggsy Spanier, Zutty Singleton, Henry "Red" Allen, Sidney De Paris, "Pops" Foster) and I must admit I had no idea Noble Sissle's band was this good).
Well, even if the selection could have been better, this is a great intro to Bechet's soprano-sax and clarinet opus from 1923-1947; the earliest recording being Waller-Williams' "Wild Cat Blues" performed by Clarence Williams Blue Five (Bechet, Thomas Morris on cornet, John Mayfield on trombone, Williams on piano and Buddy Christian on banjo) and the latest being Porter's "Love for Sale" performed by Bechet's Quartet (with Lloyd Philips on piano, "Pops" Foster on bass and Arthur Herbert on drums).
