Sidney Bechet: Blues In Thirds (CD: LeJazz/ Charly)
To describe any one period of Sidney Bechet's career as his prime is to undervalue the consistency he sustained over a rematkable thirty-five year period. However, these recordings from 1938-41 capture some truly exquisite performances, remarkable even by his own high standards. With Bechet playing soprano sax and clarinet, these tracks also include inspired contributions from other such outstanding musicians of the day as trumpeters Red Allen, Tommy Ladnier and Mugsy Spanier, cornettist Red Stewart and pianists Earl Hines and Willie 'The Lion' Smith.
