"Hey Junior, go practice you clarinet. Someday you'll amount to something."
OK, I'm amused by that......
SDR asking about Anat Cohen--while I regard her fairly highly, I'm not a fan of her nor Don Byron. I've heard them both a few times live and rightly or wrongly wasn't impressed. In fact I have heard both struggle thru basic repertoire more than once, and one time with Don he clearly was very sharp to the band and did nothing....Anat has made some nice recordings and is pretty versatile, to her credit. Byron's recordings I just can't listen to.....
I did forget Ken Peplowski, did I not? He is sure fantastic.....
Not sure if I have heard Petite Fleur by Monty Sunshine, I will dig that out. I've heard so many versions of that tune I can't keep them all straight.
So Seabreeze, what would you say are the definitive Bechet original tunes? Obviously Petite Fleur and I Remember When but are there a couple of more?
