French percussionist born on April 3, 1954 in Paris, France. He has worked with the french artist Laurent Garnier. He is the son of the famous jazzman Sidney Bechet. Also, he is a conductor of Daniel Sidney Bechet Jazz Band and Daniel Bechet Quartet.
I guess this album is the only one he put out under his own name, too bad, because it's really fine and smooth fusion, not progressive really, more in the easy fusion realm of things. I really love the meditative aspects of Night Clouds:
Oui de Song for another example of his style:

Thank you so much, Julian!!! There was a record dealer who had this about 10-12 years ago (I was intensely captivated by the sound clips). The seller wouldn't divulge the artist's name or any info about the record but more than a decade later, here it is! Thanks for solving a musical mystery for me!
ReplyDeletevery cool
DeleteThis is so cool when it occurs, lucky you!
DeleteThanks Julian. It's interesting this was reissued on vinyl, but never on CD.
ReplyDeleteNothing groundbreaking here, but indeed some relaxed or groovy stuff. Thank you for sharing Julian!
