Great Bechet and Superb Dickinson

"One of the best kept secrets about this CD is Sydney Bechet's sideman, Vic Dickinson. While Sydney plays in high fidelity, it is always a joy to hear trombonist Vic Dickinson. The version of Basin Street Blues here features some of the finest tromboning that one could ever hear. Done as a slow ballad, there is plenty of room for Vic to blow his corn. Believe me, if you are even thinking about this CD, get it while you can. An additional feature is a young Bob Wilbur on soprano sax. Sydney and Bob do a couple of duets from radio broadcasts. Now, the secret is out."
