[Dixielandjazz] Sidney Bechet

[Stan Brager]

Rae Ann;

I searched the ASCAP files - it's free to all comers - at www.ascap.com.
There were several songs registered to Bechet under the name Sidney Joseph
Bechet. I don't believe that this is a complete list. However, it's a start.

Bechet also belonged to the French registry SACEM at www.sacem.fr. A search
here will give you more information. The site is in both French and English.
SACEM presents Sidney both as a leader who made recordings as well as a
composer. You can freely search their database as a "User". My search found
more than 500 recordings by Sidney as artist and composer.

Here's the ASCAP list:
