O’s Notes: This is a ten-disc box set capturing a large slice of the legendary Jazz saxophonist Sidney Bechet. It includes performances from 1931-52 including some vocals from Trixie Smith. He has inspired many jazz artists both straight-ahead and contemporary players. You will hear many justifications on 99 selections! It is priced to entice you and quite a bargain. It is a monophonic recording but very listenable. It is an excellent slice of jazz sax history with a well-documented booklet as a bonus!
