Gordon of Northridge (CA, USA) asked where the Sidney Bechet Society would
be presenting their concert, featuring an Israeli Sop Sax Player. It was in
response to Marek's post ( From Israel) about it.

Interested parties need only google <Sidney Bechet Society> to find out all
they want to know, and more, about about them and the jazz events they
sponsor. (Event is in NYC) Their website has lots of information about
Bechet and Jazz.

BTW Marek, I jammed with that Israeli Sop Sax player you mentioned at the
Red Sea Jazz Festival in Eilat Israel last year. He is EXCELLENT. Very
impressive improvised solos, doing it right. Builds tension and then
releases it throughout each chorus, and each chorus builds upon the previous
one increasing the excitement till the ending in the final chorus. Great
player.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
