A televised tribute to Sidney Bechet in Paris, was the first occasion I had to work with the wonderful pianist Pierre Christophe. Ten years later, we are still trying to make the most out of opportunities to remind people of Bechet's greatness. If you're able, join us this Wednesday night for the Gulf Stream Jazz Festival in Ville de Barneville-Carteret for a program celebrating New Orleans and the Wizard of Jazz.
