Wait a second. Bechet is Bebop? I guess you must be talking about his later recordings or something.

These damn threads are getting confusing. The bebop dialogue is two threads over.

I just picked up the Past Perfect Gold Supa Dupa Sidney "Shoot You In The Street" Bechet Box Set.
Good good good. Cheep cheep cheep.
10 CDs for $30.00 and the quality is good. Yeah, it could be better but it's comparable to other labels in sound quality and I wouldn't hesitate playing these at a dance.

ok, the best Bechet song for me right now is "Blues my Naughty Sweetie Gave to Me" - it's on the Fabulous Sidney Bechet --- I think Falty turned me onto this song first time he dj'ed in Seattle --- anyhow, everytime I play it I get asked about it.

Past Perfect's "At The Jazzband Ball" is a good deal for 5 bucks...
Some gems:
Tailgate Ramble
I Got Rhythm
Who?
At The Jazzband Ball
and others...
Reub turned me on to "Blues my naughty..." everytime I've ever played it (class or djing) someone asks me what it was.
Bechet is the shit.

I should also mention it has the dirtiest version of tin roof blues. Damn.

those of us with the
bechet proper box may be interested to know that of the three available past perfect bechet discs -- the aforementioned
At the Jazzband Ball, as well as
Blues in the Air and
Perdido Street Blues, there is little overlap with the proper set. i'll be picking up AtJBB, ASAP
(same rundown: past perfect discs will eventually disappear, because they are remaindered merchandise, and they are $5 each
here)

That's a spectacular set! About 20 tracks per disk. Mine just arrived, and from what I've heard so far, the sound quality is on par with JSP sets. Also has a thick, informative booklet.

Anyone here have
Sidney Bechet at Storyville? I picked it up pretty cheap when I was in Florida - all of the tracks are awesome, although some are a bit long to DJ with IMO.
Plus, in addition to Vic Dickenson on trombone, it's got George Wein on piano.

Does anyone know if this album has been released on CD? Some web site I saw seems to think that it has.
