This song is fresh!

Man i just love jazz to death! All other music seems so lame in comparison. From blues drenched hard bop to the Benny Goodman trio to this great man's music.

This is where my heart is! This music is part of my life!

I love your work, this is one of the most beautiful videos that I've seen, so thank you;)

Well done, very nice pictures! It is a pity Bechet is so little known compared to Louis due to his absence from the "scene" between 1925 and 1931 (by the way, there is no soprano on Egyptian Fantasy).

@oldtimejazzfan ... re: "no soprano", I didn't hear one either, though the track lists Bechet on both clarinet and soprano.

Ondaatje's 'Coming through Slaughter' about Buddy Bolden refers to Bellocq. Damn good book. It's been years. Gotta reread it.
