Another day, another classic jazz track. This time by the great clarinetist/soprano saxophonist Sidney Bechet. This isn't as well known as his big hit Petite Fleur, but I think it's pretty great. It has a nice mix of traditional French melodies (anybody else think it sounds like the Marseillaise?) and energetic New Orleans rhythm and polyphony.
I believe this track was also used in the soundtrack of Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.




Great pick, we need more Jazz.
Also, I totally hear les marseillais too!
