Sidney Bechet - In Paris Volume 1

Review by Tyler Longren

In Paris is a classic jazz album by the legendary Sidney Bechet, and it is a must-have for any true jazz fan. The album was recorded in Paris in 1952 and showcases Bechet's incredible talent on the clarinet and soprano saxophone. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which are played with Bechet's signature style and flair.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Petite Fleur," which has become one of Bechet's most famous compositions. The track features Bechet's soaring clarinet playing and a beautiful melody that is sure to stick in your head long after the album has finished.

Another highlight of the album is "Si Tu Vois Ma Mere," which is a gorgeous ballad that features Bechet's sensitive and emotive playing on the soprano saxophone. The track is a tribute to Bechet's mother, who passed away shortly before the recording of the album.
