If this is St Louis Blues, I hope I'm clinically depressed here.

[FayeLouiseKehoe]

what year is this in?

[oldtimejazzfan]

@FayeLouiseKehoe Paris, June 16 1953

[SweetJaneofGoth]

Like where's the banjo?

[oldtimejazzfan]

@SweetJaneofGoth There is no banjo here: Bechet ss, Marcel Bornstein cnt, Jean-Louis Durand tb, André Rewéliotty cl, Yannick Singéry p, Gorges "Zozo" d'Halluin b, Michel Pacout dr, recorded June 16 1953.

[SweetJaneofGoth]

@oldtimejazzfan Well, Like I wanna hear some banjo!

[jmgibon]

I still have this Vogue 45 rpm. Recorded during a concert at the "Salle Pleyel" in Paris with Claude Luter and his orchestra. Royal Garden Blues is on the other side.

[davebrennanmusic]

Great Video! Thanks for posting. :-)

[choklatst]

St Louis was jammin' jazz and this piece made sure you recognize the Blues, St Louis style.

Great trombone jazz playing, don't see that much anymore

Holding that hi C? soooo long.

[oldtimejazzfan]

@choklatst The long note is a G

That trumpet player got down for his too! Man I love the notes he hit.

Sidney Bechet was born too early

I would've loved to sit in a jam session with him, Louis Armstrong, call up Buddy Rich on drums from his era and I'll take Stanely Clarke for my bass blayer and either Wes Montgomery or George Benson for my guitar player.

4:04-4:30 !!!!!!!

[GraGraGK]

Talent i perfekcja. Pięknie dziękuję za ten filmik

[marleyhund777]

Sidney who ? A shame he gets no attention when jazz is discussed.

[Abriggs500]

So was Bechet more appreciated in France than in America?

[oldtimejazzfan]

@Abriggs500 The French called im LE DIEU (God) and in America he was forgotten after his absence between 1925 and 1930 although he was the first great jazz soloist (before Armstrong).

[littunah]

Another GREAT!!! :)

[stainjer]

I'm new to youtube...but I've been told that the trumpet player is my father...does anyone have info on the band members? or the location and year of this?

[oldtimejazzfan]

@stainjer Sorry, I strongly doubt that the trumpet player is your father because he is French and you seem to be American.

Personnel: Marcel Bornstein co, Jean-Louis Durand tb, André Réweliotty cl, Yannick Singéry p, George d'Halluin b, Michel Pacout dm, and of course Sidney Bechet ss. Marcel Bornstein, by the way, still plays with Olivier Franc's Bechet Memorial Band where Olivier plays Bechet's Buescher Soprano of 1923.

[bimhimbim]

@stainjer What is his name?

[jaccusse]

A good way to start the morning!

[bridude2001]

rare treat

[postatility]

A Dream Sequence:Bechet jams with Steve Lacy....I think it would be wonderful

[yvesfrancois]

i love bechet - he is so swinging - and this band is awesome - andre reveliotty's band also backed hot lips page on a memorable session ("last call for alcohol") and like the luter and braslawsky bands knew Bechet;s taste very well, superb performance

[sirjuandabicho]

Maravilloso, muchisimas ghracias.

[jimmymacnj]

OMG Incredible. The best musical video I've ever seen. Even better then Lady Ga Ga latest crotch shot. Sorry for the satire but we are losing a sense of what great art and artists are about. Behold Sidney Bechet. Thanks for this great post. Thanks for the french for nurturing this great artist when times were tough in the USA. Merci Merci Merci riskrapper

[camilelcoyne]

Oh so very good!!!! A million thanks for posting!!

[ABEY73]

[swinggeist]

Je me demande si il a apprit Français? Il a habite la bas pendant longtemps...

Truly one of the most amazing musicians ever!

[meggiemeown]

What can I say? Sidney Bechet!  I am at a loss from the beauty of it...

[OBELIXxoxoxo]

Il a vecu les dix dernieres annees de sa vie en France, les Francais l'adoraient! Sidney Bechet et Claude Luther ont fait une belle equipe!

[1chevellelover]

How long can YOU hold onto a high A?He was rambunctious, belligerant and articulate as well.He plays that thing like its an extension of himself.True genius.
