Sidney Bechet - Volume 8 1940
Review by Olivier Ntanama
Volume 8 1940 by Sidney Bechet is a must-have album for jazz enthusiasts looking for an authentic experience of jazz music from the 1940s. The album features Bechet's signature style of playing the clarinet and saxophone, and his virtuosic improvisations are a treat to listen to.
The album opens with the upbeat and lively "I Had It But It's All Gone Now," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Bechet's mastery of his instruments is evident in tracks like "Sweetie Dear," "Salty Dog," and "Blue Horizon," where he effortlessly blends his melodic lines with the rhythm section.
The album also features some of Bechet's collaborations with other jazz greats, such as pianist Art Hodes and drummer Big Sid Catlett. The chemistry between the musicians is evident in tracks like "Boogie Woogie in B-Flat" and "When the Sun Sets Down South."
