5.0 out of 5 stars surprising - a broad spectrum of "dixieland" styles, February 20, 2001

This review is from: Fabulous Sidney Bechet (Audio CD)

Although this disk could be referred to as "dixieland" it strikes me as having a wide spectrum of different approaches that musical style. Although I like dixieland music, I generally get bored after 2 of 3 cuts because I find that the music played by any one group is often stylistically repetitious. I was really surprised by this disk because there were so many different approaches to the music. Each time a new cut would start I found myself paying close attention to what they were doing. It never became boring background music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bechet's NY farewell, June 17, 2010

This review is from: Fabulous Sidney Bechet (Audio CD)

Sidney's last 2 recordings for Blue Note being placed on 1 CD makes good sense for the collector. This is powerful and exuberant jazz and Jonah leaves his mute alone. He had to if he wanted to be heard. If you want to know what I mean, listen to him on Rose of the Rio Grande in both takes. It's also nice to hear Buddy Weed, a light fingered pianist, in the rhythm section. As mentioned in another review nice backgrounds and interesting routines add to the interest.
