Sidney Bechet acc. by Claude Luter and his Orchestra

Recorded by Sidney Bechet with the “Claude Luter Orchestra” in Paris, France on January 31, 1952 featuring Guy Longnon and Claude Rabanit (trumpets), Bernard Zacharias (trombone), Claude Luter (clarinet), Sidney Bechet (soprano sax), Christian Azzi (piano), Roland Bianchini (bass), and Francois Galepides (drums).

French jazz bandleader Claude Luter who like Bechet also doubled on soprano saxophone started his career playing the trumpet, but soon switched to clarinet.

Claude is perhaps best remembered as he is heard here, serving as Bechet’s accompanist in Paris.
