Sweet Georgia Brown Bechet 1958

Sweet Georgia Brown Bechet 1958

A film from the 1958 Cannes Jazz Festival in France with Sidney Bechet sop.sax, Teddy Buckner tpt, Vic Dickenson tb, Sammy Price pno, Arvell Shaw bass and trumpetplayer Roy Eldridge on drums. Of course we all appreciate the marvelous qualities of each of these stars but not until the mid nineties, when a friend from the Netherlands send me this video clip did I realize that Eldridge was such an outstanding drummer. He does it mostly on his snare drums. Totally amazing, every time I see this film. Every drummer should see this clip. Roy just plays hot and does everything a frontline musician can wish for.
