Review

In the scheme of things, this is not essential Sidney Bechet, but yet it's a vibrant, exciting, and fun blowing session with considerable charm. Recorded at Boston's Storyville in October 1953, Bechet on soprano is joined by veteran trombonist Vic Dickenson on the front line. The mood is joyous and animated, the tunes are basic, and the two primary soloists sound as if they're having a grand old time. Incidentally, that's promoter George Wein sitting in on piano as a last-minute sub, and he acquits himself quite admirably. Still, it's Bechet's show, and any chance to hear him stretch out should be taken, as his buoyant, charging tone is sure to bring out a smile. --Marc Greilsamer
