Sidney Bechet Day (continues)‏

A phenomenal instrumentalist Sidney Bechet 
never received the attention he deserved as 
a jazz artist in the United States.

As employment opportunities dried up during 
the late '40s it seemed he that had lost his 
audience for good. 

But everything changed with an invitation to 
the Persian "Salle Pleyel" Jazz Festival.

In France he became an overnight sensation 
embarking on the most successful period of 
his lengthy career.
