The Undisputed King. When jazz enthusiasts talk of the soprano saxophone the name on their lips is that of Sidney Bechet, the undisputed king. It is the only instrument in jazz on which one man reigns supreme. Avid’s re-mastered double CD covers a broad range of Bechet’s career and is notable for including all the titles recorded by the Bechet /Spanier Big Four as well as a superb session with classic blues man Josh White and also his amazing One Man Band recordings which bought him national recognition when he performed and multi-tracked on six instruments… piano, bass, clarinet, drums, soprano and tenor saxophone!A well filled and re-mastered, mid price double CD that will be an important addition to a classic jazz range.
