You are probably right. The picture shows him playing clarinet. However I did think I heard a soprano in there somewhere.

one thing that is special is the vibrato thing that got left by the wayside later on in jazz you gotta to love the way these guys match up

Bechet is playing soprano sax.

Thank you SO much for posting this!  Simply wonderful! Got to see Bob two times - once giving a speech and playing unaccompanied; the second playing with many others; my favorite was hearing him totally on his own. WOW!

Thanks for the photo post too - that was great.

I love a lot of early clarinet playing, but there is just something different about Mr. Bechet's soulful style. Simply beautiful.

Thanks again for the post.
