May 14 was the birthday of the late soprano sax master Sidney Bechet. Ironically, he died on the same day in 1959. To view footage of him still in top form in 1958, go to www.20sjazz.com, click on the category “Hot Jazz” & then click “Bechet Solo.”

Cool. Thanks. Also listened to Jelly Roll Morton with Sidney Bechet and a little Louis Armstrong.

I appreciate your comment. As the old saying goes, “they don’t make ‘em like that anymore!”
