New Orleans soprano saxophonist (and clarinetist) Sidney Bechet (1897-1959) was one of jazz's earliest soloists. He spent his last couple of decades in France, where he was a national hero. Here he is in July, 1958 at the Cannes Jazz Festival. He is accompanied by Teddy Buckner, trumpet; Vic Dickenson, trombone; Sammy Price, piano; Arwell Shaw, bass; and Roy Eldridge (!), drums.
