The second in a series of CD reissues featuring
Sidney Bechet has quite a bit of variety. The unique soprano-saxophonist is heard with
Noble Sissle's showband, dominating a small group sponsored by
Sissle, backing blues singer
Trixie Smith and the team of Grant & Wilson, and leading his own session with a sextet that includes baritonist
Ernie Caceres, and on "Hold Tight," a vocal by "The Two Fish Mongers." Enjoyable if not quite essential music.
