This out-of-print French LP contains a mixture of Bechet items, including five very early tracks with Clarence Williams`s Blue Five, a 1925 session from The Get Happy Band, "Dear Old Southland" with Noble Sissle`s big band in 1937, and the four songs (plus three alternates) cut with Sissle`s rhythm section. This excellent music is generally available elsewhere. ~ Scott Yanow
