Sidney Bechet was an influential saxophone and clarinet player of the early days of jazz, most notable for his work on the soprano saxophone.

Something of an itinerant musician, including spells in Europe (and indeed jail), he recorded with numerous bands, including those of Clarence Williams and Noble Sissle.
