5.0 out of 5 stars
Back to the Future,
By Matthew Watters (Vietnam) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Sidney Bechet 1 & 2 (Audio CD)
There are archival recordings of Charlie Christian inventing bebop at Minton's around 1940-41, but if I were going to select a single date that marked the birth of modern recorded jazz, it would have to be September 6, 1940, when clarinetist Sidney Bechet, pianist Earl Hines and drummer Baby Dodds went into a studio in Chicago and recorded "Blues in Thirds". With this one track, all three blazed a trail into the future, when small-group jazz and exploratory improvisations would dominate the art form. All of everything great that would follow in the 1950s heyday of recorded jazz is here in three-minute embryo. Everything else they recorded that day, including polyrhythmic and utterly modern versions of "Stompy Jones" and "Ain't Misbehavin'", is nearly as jaw-dropping. Happy birthday!

Hot jazz, warm feet,

This review is from: Complete Sidney Bechet 1 & 2 (Audio CD)
Drums include Baby Dodds, Sid Catlett, J.C. Heard, and Kenny Clarke; piano players include Earl Hines; trumpeters Henry "Red" Allen. Bechet is wonderful. And wouldn't a CD mostly comprised of selections from The New Orleans Feetwarmers make a terrific stocking stuffer!
