Parisian Encounter: Live In Paris July 4, 1958 [Import] Vogue Records Douban
Sidney Bechet
release date 1958-07-04 publisher: Vogue Records
One of the most competitive of all jazzmen, Bechet was well-teamed with the Louis Armstrong-influenced trumpet of Teddy Buckner on this spirited set from late in Bechet's life. Buckner is reasonably respectful but gets in plenty of hot licks during this Dixielandish session; a concert shortly afterward by the two would be very combative. This fine CD shows that Sidney Bechet never did decline or lose any of his formidable power.
