Synopsis

Album Description
BD Jazz is a new label which offers listeners an introduction to some of the greatest jazz musicians of our time through a two disc set of their most-loved songs. Additionally, a 16 page illustrated book is included, which offers an insight into their lives and music. This specially formatted piece is a must-have for jazz fans as well as jazz neophytes trying to learn about the genre. Sidney Bichet is one of the Jazz world?s unappreciated heroes. Although he was one of the first important New Orleans jazz soloists and a fantastic soprano saxophonist and clarinetist, Bechet was never truly appreciated in the United States. Although his career began in 1917, his career did not truly flourish until 1949, when he became an overnight sensation in France based on his phenomenal performance at the Salle Pleyel Jazz Festival in Paris.
