Sidney Bechet was the first to make the soprano saxophone a jazz intstrument.  He led a tumultous life and vividly expressed his emotions in music.

Part Three:  Bechet's story excerpted from his autobiography and read by Peter Coyote

Special attention in this show to Bechet's tendency to rhapsodize is music and his partnership with Mezz Mezzrow.  Rare excerpts of the larger symphonic settings he conceived: "Night is a Sorcerer" and "La Colline du Delta."
