George Grosman & Bohemian Swing - Sidney, Mon Ami (2013)

This is a tribute to the giant of soprano saxophone, Sidney Bechet. The music is enchanting, lyrical and yet full of swing and joie de vivre. Brandon Walker and I have also written four tunes in what I would call a "modernized" Bechet style to honor the master. The rest of the tunes are period covers that once again tend to be romantic, lyrical and soulful…in the spirit of gypsy jazz and Dixieland combines but with a more modern touch.
