Summary: Well Researched and Written Life of Jazz Great
Comment: Sidney Bechet was not only one of the greatest jazz musicians ever, he was one of the most facinating characters in the music. He wrote his own poetic autobiography, "Treat It Gentle". After reading "Treat It Gentle" you might want to know even more about Bechet, and wonder how much of his stories are fact or fiction. If so, "Sidney Bechet The Wizard of Jazz" is the book for you.
British musician and writer John Chilton is one of the very best jazz researchers. His carefully gathered information is presented well in this book. Find out about Bechet's personality, the real story of his time in French prison, insightfull analysis of his recordings, and more.
This book is an example of what a well researched and written jazz biography should be.
