Our Take

In the annals of jazz history, Sidney Bechet stands as a titan of the genre, pioneering the use of the soprano saxophone and leaving an indelible mark on the music scene. His latest release, "Complete Recordings," is a comprehensive compilation of his greatest hits and lesser-known gems, showcasing the breadth and depth of his musical prowess.

From the infectious energy of "Summertime" to the mesmerizing beauty of "Petite Fleur," Bechet effortlessly glides between styles and moods, leaving listeners spellbound with each note. His virtuosity on the saxophone is unparalleled, with each solo sounding like a musical conversation between man and instrument.

The production on this album is top-notch, capturing the raw energy and emotion of Bechet's live performances while still maintaining a level of polish that is pleasing to the ear. The remastered versions of his classic tracks sound crisp and clear, allowing listeners to fully appreciate the nuances of his playing.

"Complete Recordings" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado, offering a glimpse into the genius of Sidney Bechet and the legacy he left behind. So sit back, relax, and let the sweet sounds of Bechet's saxophone wash over you like a cool breeze on a hot summer day. Trust me, you won't regret it.
