Title: Bechet and the wild one
Review: When discussing the greatest trumpet players in pre-modern idioms (or in general for that matter) Wild Bill Davison seems to be a good topic;although Sidney Bechet is the star of the album, Davison's hot and powerful cornet is a more than significant feature...Not discounting the importance of the rest of the three groups that accompany these two giants, it is the collaboration of Sidney and Wild Bill that'll make you come back for more of this great music.Maybe this is not the best version of "Tiger Rag" you've ever heard, but listen to Davison's solo and obligatto work on "Tin Roof Blues" and the general drive of "Runnin' Wild"... Although not being the biggest fan of soprano sax, I still really like this album.The rest of the line-up includes pianists Art Hodes and Joe Sullivan, as well as bassists Walter Page and Pops Foster, all the tracks are recorded in 1949 and 1950.
