Our Take

Sidney Bechet's "A Portrait Of Bechet In Paris" is a toe-tapping journey through the streets of the City of Light with one of jazz's true trailblazers. Bechet, known for his virtuosic clarinet and saxophone playing, effortlessly blends traditional jazz with French flair, creating a sound that is as intoxicating as a glass of Bordeaux.

From the sultry notes of "Petite Fleur" to the rollicking rhythms of "Dans Les Rues D'Antibes," Bechet's charm and charisma shine through on every track. His joyful energy is infectious, making it impossible to resist tapping your foot or swaying along to the music.

The album captures the essence of Paris in every note, transporting listeners to the smoky jazz clubs and bustling streets of the 1920s and 30s. Bechet's love affair with the city is palpable, as he weaves a musical tapestry that is both nostalgic and modern.

"A Portrait Of Bechet In Paris" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado, as well as anyone looking to add a touch of French sophistication to their music collection. So grab a croissant, pour yourself a glass of champagne, and let Sidney Bechet take you on a magical journey through the streets of Paris. Santé!
