CD Reviews

From great to inconsistent

Charles A. Jordan | Chicago,IL | 05/06/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This 5 disc album spanning many decades is inconsistent, as you might expect. I find myself listening exclusively to the earlier periods which are really great. Strictly a matter of taste, not any erosion of Bechet's talent."

Great Deal for Lots of Great Music!

K. Crandell | Washington, D.C. | 03/17/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you like Bechet, go for it! I like this collection better than the Proper set! It includes tunes that I should have owned for years, such as "Viper Mad.""
