Conférence : Sidney Bechet, la musique c’est la vie

Sidney Bechet preferred the term Ragtime to jazz to describe the music he played. This lecture will look at this extraordinary figure born in New Orleans at the end of the 19th century, his history, his artistic career, live on Jacques Ravenel's saxophone, and his work, still relevant today through the new generation of musicians. Lecture given by Jacques RAVENEL, jazz saxophonist and teacher.
