Description
Clarinettist Mezz Mezzrow was a great admirer of Sidney Bechet and in the mid forties he made many recordings featuring himself along with Bechet for his own record company, the King Jazz label. This terrific Masters Of Jazz compilation includes sessions from the Mezzrow-Bechet Septet and Quintet. In this set of recordings - made in New York in 1945 and Chicago two years later – Mezzrow supports and accentuates the ever-creative Bechet, demonstrating a pleasant rapport and dazzling interplay.
