Sidney Bechet - Besame Mucho
From Album: "Sidney Bechet ~ Volume 13, 1943-1944 Complete Edition (Masters Of Jazz)".
Sidney Bechet (May 14, 1897 – May 14, 1959) was an American jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer.
He was one of the first important soloists in jazz (beating cornetist and trumpeter Louis Armstrong to the recording studio by several months and later playing duets with Armstrong), and was perhaps the first notable jazz saxophonist of any sort. Forceful delivery, well-constructed improvisations, and a distinctive, wide vibrato characterized Bechet's playing.
Bechet's mercurial temperament hampered his career, however, and not until the late 1940s did he earn wide acclaim. ~ More info from Wiki
