Our Take

Bunk Johnson and Sidney Bechet bring a jazzy tea party to Boston with "Jazz Nocturne 3: Bunk And Bechet In Boston." This album is like a delightful fusion of afternoon tea and a wild jazz club, with Johnson's trumpet and Bechet's clarinet leading the way.

From the opening notes of "Sweet Georgia Brown," you can feel the energy and chemistry between these two legends. Johnson's smooth, velvety tones blend perfectly with Bechet's playful, spirited solos. The result is a toe-tapping, finger-snapping good time that will leave you craving more.

Tracks like "Royal Garden Blues" and "St. Louis Blues" showcase the duo's mastery of the genre, with each note telling a story and inviting the listener to join in on the musical conversation. The interplay between Johnson and Bechet is a sight (and sound) to behold, with each musician pushing the other to new heights of creativity and virtuosity.

But don't let the old-school vibes fool you - this album is as fresh and exciting as a new pair of socks. Johnson and Bechet may be from a bygone era, but their music is timeless and has the power to transport you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of New Orleans.

So grab a cup of tea, put on your dancing shoes, and let Bunk Johnson and Sidney Bechet take you on a musical journey that is equal parts classic and contemporary. "Jazz Nocturne 3: Bunk And Bechet In Boston" is a must-listen for jazz enthusiasts of all ages.
