Description

Sidney Bechet's life story is a testament to the power of music, as expressed in his own words. A virtuosic clarinetist and soprano saxophonist, Bechet was a key figure in the development of New Orleans jazz, playing alongside legendary musicians such as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington.

This autobiography offers a unique glimpse into the life of a jazz legend, with Bechet sharing his experiences in a frank, humorous, and expressive style. The result is a vivid portrait of a man, his music, and the era in which he lived.

Written by one of the most brilliant exponents of New Orleans jazz, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history and culture of jazz.
