Liner Note Author: Mike Pointon.
Recording information: New York, NY (04/16/1937); Paris, France (04/16/1937); New York, NY (10/07/1952); Paris, France (10/07/1952); New York, NY (11/05/1949); Paris, France (11/05/1949).
Taken from live recordings made by the legendary New Orleanian in Paris in the late 1940s and `50s, A PORTRAIT OF SIDNEY BECHET IN PARIS provides a glowing portrait of the jazz pioneer. Bechet was adored in France (a fact that prompted him to relocate there in the `50s), and the passion with which he plays on these live recordings, and the rapturous reception of the crowd, leave little doubt that Bechet and Europe were a good match. The set list is packed with classic, traditional New Orleans jazz, and such tunes as "Old Rockin' Chair," "Lazy River," and "Baby Won't You Please Come Home," make this live disc a winner.
