4.0 out of 5 stars
In the beginning, March 7, 2005
This review is from: 1923-36 (Audio CD)
This is the first volume of Chronological Classics Sidney Bechet, and collects a Rosetta Crawford session from 1923, 4 Noble Sissle dates (1931-36), and the famous New Orleans Feetwarmers session with Tommy Ladnier from 1932. This last mentioned session is the best on the CD, very hard-driving jazz; "Lay your racket" is a real beauty, but all the tunes from this date are excellent. Some of the Sissle sides are draggy, but the exuberance of the Feetwarmers sides makes up for it. Recommended.
