Shades of Bechet # 2 by Andy Leggett

Our next featured CD is Shades of Bechet # 2 by Andy Leggett, a British soprano saxophonist who idolises the late great Sidney Bechet. This is the follow up album to Shades of Bechet # 1 , and very well done it is too!
The recording quality, arrangements and musicianship is really first class. Joining Andy on the recording is John Emms, Christoph Wackerbarth, Matthias Seuffert, Fraser Gartshore, Benny Daniels and Jörg Möller and myself, Sean Moyses. The 17 titles include Polka dot rag, Waste no tears, Ghost of the blues, Si tu vois ma mere, Black stick, Passport to paradise, I want you tonight, Okey doke, Bechet’s fantasy, Montserrat, Georgia cabin, Blues dans le blues, Halle hallelujah, Blues in thirds, Lastic, Egyptian fantasy and DSC blues. This is a very professionally produced and carefully mixed recording and a must for all fans of Bechet (and Andy!).
The CD can be ordered directly from Andy via his website at www.Andyleggett.com
