[TheTopoletta]

[streetcornerjames]

Wow it really speaks to me!

[MrBlues1942]

he was a genius... this is deep blues from the soul

[Eabie139]

Used to listen to this as a child over dinner on a sunday on the old turn table.... now I'm getting married this is going to be the tune my Dad and I dance to. I love it, I love Sidney playing it

[topbluffa1]

been looking for this song for years thanks!!!!!!!! i knew it from a episode of Jonathen creek "the seer of the sands"

[annanoli]

@davidjd Johnny Hodges played some soprano until 1940..worth a look. Find "Ol'man blues" here on tube

[viglionatic]

wie gut das einfach ist

[MrOwjls]

@joomuck agreed: for soloistic qualities, but would you not also add, johnny dodds, barney bigard and benny goodman. (i'm clearly bias, being a clarinetist)

[1190jenny]

J'ai caché, mieux que partout ailleurs,

Au jardin de mon coeur, une petite fleur,

Cette fleur, plus jolie qu'un bouquet,

Elle garde, en secret ....

Κρύφτηκε, καλύτερα από οπουδήποτε αλλού,

Στον κήπο της καρδιάς μου, ένα μικρό λουλούδι,

Αυτό το λουλούδι, πιο όμορφο από ένα μπουκέτο

Κρατά το μυστικό...

[hellostrangers]

@1190jenny Sur mes vingt ans Je m'arrête un moment Pour respirer Le parfum que j'ai tant aimé Dans mon coeur Tu fleuriras toujours Au grand jardin d'amour Petite fleur.... Στα είκοσι χρόνια μου Θα σταματήσω για μια στιγμή Για να αναπνεύσω Το άρωμα που αγάπησα τόσο πολύ Στην καρδιά μου Μπορείς ν' ανθίζεις ακόμη Ο μεγάλος κήπος της αγαπης Μικρό λουλουδι...

[TheDukepeterson]

@davidjd I´ve heard Branford Marsalis, brother of Wynton , play soprano sax. Wayne Shorter also used to play it, sometimes. But you are right, Coltrane and Bechet were the best concerning this instrument.

[handycappo]

oh so this is on sax,,, i thought it was jus a low clarinet ,, it seems he plays it on clarinet also

[Teddyb1939]

I wonder if the young lady introducing a programme about Beshay [bechet] as she said it as becket as in thomas`a becket thinks or was told about her mistake. i know her name but would not dream of telling anyone,this was some years ago on radio 3 bbc.

[Teddyb1939]

@oldtimejazzfan Perhaps you would try again, I don`t really know what you are getting at. there was certainly nothing detrimental in my comment.It seems as though you may have left half your of your message out.

[oldtimejazzfan]

@Teddyb1939 I think the you mean the introduction of Simone Alma of PREMIER BAL, not Petite Fleur.

[Teddyb1939]

@oldtimejazzfan Hi . Jazzfan. I know exactly what I meant,this lady on radio 3 was introducing a tribute programme about Sidney Bechet [ obviously to jazz people like you & I] should be said as Beshay, she announced the name as Becket,as in Thomas a` Becket. , now for a person to be introducing a jazz legend such as Sidney Bechet, you would think she herself or the producer ,would have made sure she had it right. any way nothing serious I just thought it of interest. Thank for your interest.

[Blackgeoff2]

@davidjd Steve Lacy was a very interesting modern soprano saxist; spent a lot of his career playing only Monk tunes; excellent album with Mal Waldron "I Remember Thelonious". Not everyones taste but I dig him a lot. Some of his stuff's on youtube. As different as Trane and Bechet were, Lacy's different again.

And then there's Roland Kirk - -- and, of course, there would've been me too if only I could've played the thing in tune ...

[gotoneworleans]

Yes, Bechet played soprano saxophone here, and also clarinet, but he was less recorded on clarinet. Both with a tone unlike any other I've heard.

[gotoneworleans]

@davidjd Yes, Bechet played soprano saxophone here, and also clarinet, but he was less recorded on clarinet.

[57Galileo]

Pequeña y delicada flor, paraíso, armonía; jardín, sensaciones. Tati, eres color, olor y presencia; frescor. Te quiero.

[branlemichel]

J'aime toujours ce grand artiste mais .... est-ce parce que j'ai déjà quelques printemps dans les oreilles et de vieux souvenirs de festivals de jazz !

[franklinpbailey]

BEAUTIFUL!

[zema438]

Thank you!

[JCJasion]

@davidjd - Soprano Sax on steroids - That's how I tend to describe Bechet's soprano sax recordings such as this.

[jim0douglas0morrison]

no se ni siquiera como expresar lo que me provoca esta cancion, es lo mejor que he escuchado me encanta!!!!!

[ORYNCE]

so far, so long ago, but still so beautiful dreams .....

For always and ever beautiful.

Thanks a lot

[klikonojazz]

@davidjd Shure he played soprano but also clarinet. But on this tune it's the Soprano!

[davidjd]

THANKS for the memory Sydney. Btw, Canadian guitarist Claude Sirois does a fantastic arrangement on solo guitar. Just enter Claude Sirois Petite Fleur.

[yuriyorlov50]

pas de paroles juste de la belle musique, certains devraient s'en inspirer.oh si non, c juste magnifique.

[sergi6malaka6]

le meilleure chanson de tout le monde

[punanena]

Tack för alla rullar

[febalj]

this tune was written by a venezuelan maestro called aldemaro romero in the early 40's

[Rachegotter]

French musicians, even those born in the US, are the best.

[febalj]

take that back, you creep!

[oldtimejazzfan]

@Rachegotter Sidney Bechet was not a French musician, he just spent the last eight years of his life in France.

[Rachegotter]

@oldtimejazzfan He spent many years of his life in France, descended from a French-Creole family of Louisiana, and married a French woman, which earned him the French citizenship. Back then, in the US, a black man could not even ride on a bus without being harassed. He was French. Even his name was pronounced in its original French. 

[oldtimejazzfan]

@Rachegotter You are wrong. Of course, he spent many years in France before he settled there for good in 1951. His 3rd wife was German, Elisabeth Ziegler, who he knew already in the twenties, before he was married twice to American women. Many Creoles had French names: Albert Nicholas, Omer Simeon, Paul Barbarin, Barney Bigard, Alphonse Picou, George Baquet etc. and most of them played clarinet.

[jfdangerarg]

Himmlische Musik.Ein Eckart wird sich wohl an B... und das Jahr 1959 erinnern,

[Enniesway]

[Sidolle]

Tout en douceur. Bon choix de mon ami Pierrot. Bisous de tinon.

[momoetnene]

Sydney, je t'écoute encore... Toujours émerveillée et le coeur remplie d'émotion...Merci.

[momoetnene]

Une oeuvre extraordinaire, vive émotion et retour sur ma jeunesse.... magnifique et tellement émouvant ce Sidney Bechet ! Mille merci.

[jaimitoapru]

Sidney Bechet es una de las más grandes leyendas del jazz jamás conocidas y uno d los q convirtió esta música en lo que hoy conocemos como Jazz y su precaria evolusion desde el ragtime...Sidney es la tranquilidad convertida en música...Si loin de la mort.... Aussi près de l'amour....

[esme320]

Just wonderful!!! And the photographs of flowers are magnificent too! Thank you for this.

[Sting0NL]

Vroeger had ik een lp van bechet waar dit nummer op stond... Blijft een prachtig en ontroerend nummer, uitgevoerd door een legendarisch artiest!

[lybertycherry]

on m/avait pique mon vinyl et heureuse de pouvoir vibrer avec toi sidney smatcho

[jmgibon]

Sidney, c'est toute ma jeunesse, c'est lui qui nous gardait tous ensemble lorsque nous étions étudiants. Après lui, ce ne fut jamais la même chose. On avait perdu notre âme.
