5 out of 5 stars Yellow Days.......2004-05-12

I am a Sidney Bechet fan and love his music. This cd is a gem of another kind. Unsophisticated playing that goes to the soul of jazz and it's now among my favorites.

1 out of 5 stars Extremely Mediocre.......1999-06-20

This album is good as any proof that musical talent is not inherited.This Bechet has none of the intestity, skill or unbridled "inspired abandon" of his famous namesake, and this album merely trades on Sidneys' great name. The least said about the Neanderthal drumming of English Bwanna-be Martyn the better. It is sad that the great talents of Ed.Garland & Alton Purnell are wasted on such mediocrity, it is certainly an impossible task to expect them to make Leonard or Martyn swing. Another G.H.B. lemon...Maybe they should curtail Martyns "drumming" since his archival work carries real weight.
