[Dixielandjazz] Sidney Bechet (was Monk and Pee Wee; other one-of-a-kinds?)

[woodlanders]

Sidney was definitely one of a kind. We French still have a very soft spot for him. Any French man nowadays knows at least two jazzmen : Sidney and Louis.

  Nobody carbon copied Bechet and sounded the same.  Not even Wilber.
  Some French players came closer, but never quite got the sheer power of
  Bechet's playing!
