Sidney Bechet, jazz Player
In DixieIund Style so Years

PARIS, May IA (AP).-Sid-
ney Bechet. So, famous jazz
musician who came up from
New Orleans to international
prominence in the world of hot
music, died of lung cancer to-
day at his home in suburban
GarcheS.
The old-time Negro jazz
man, who still played Dixie
land style long after the
younger musicians turned to
other styles. died on his birth
day.
Mr.. Bechet started blowing
clarinet in the old days Of
Storyville in New Orleans. He
was a man with lip. When he
tucked it around a clarinet or
his soprano saxophone, he
made joyful sounds. He liked
the soprano and it got to be
his trademark.
Most of Them Gone
Most of the men who played
with him in the Storyville days
are gone: King Oliver, Bunk
johnson, Buddy Bolden, Jelly
Roll Morton. About the only
ones left are Louis (Satchmo)
Armstrong and Kid Dry.
Mr.. Beehet brought his So
prano saxophone and the clar-
met to Paris after World War
II. He caught on here and
made money. Frenchm n
bought more than a million of
his records in 1856. He played
concerts and night club dates.
He never had any trouble max
ing money at home and led
several small CONDOS. But he
liked it here.
Paris is heaven with side
walk cafes" he once said.
Sensation in France
Mr.. Bechet and his horn
which looks like an overgrown
clarinet - were tremendously
popular in France. where jazz
fans have only recently caught
on to the modern cool" jazz.
He played regularly at the
Paris jazz bistros and, until he
fell i'll, appeared at as many as
100 concerts a year. Paris
longhairs, who count some of
! the worlds most devoted jazz
fans, took to Mr.. Bechet and his
blues Specialties.
