Sidney Bechet Biography
Clarinet/soprano sax innovator Sidney Bechet stands alongside fellow New Orleans native Louis Armstrong as one of the most formative influences in jazz. Bechet's distinctive, vibrato-laden sound made him one of the first unique jazz sax stylists, and made him a valuable addition to the music of Duke Ellington, Noble Sissle, Armstrong, and others. In the 1920s, Bechet lived in Paris, but as a result of a gun fight, he spent a year in jail, and was subsequently deported. In 1952 he made a triumphant return to France, his music selling in record numbers. Until his death in Paris in 1959, Bechet enjoyed a reign as the jazz king of Europe, where he spent much of his time and was justly hailed as one of the genre's giants.
