Hugues Panassié (27 February 1912 in #Paris – 8 December 1974 in #Montauban) was a French #critic, #recordProducer, and #impresario of #traditionalJazz.

#Jazz

Spent the last roughly 3 hours listening to the 6 #LP #MosaicRecords set of "The Complete Blue Note Recordings of Sidney Bechet" recorded between 1939 & 1953.

I'm not really a #Dixieland or #TraditionalJazz"fan but the time flew by as I changed/flipped the LPs every 15 mins or so listening to this amazing 70-85 yr old music.

Sidney Bechet played jazz #clarinet long before #BennyGoodman came on the scene &, while it's undocumented, I dare say that what #Goodman learned about how to play the jazz clarinet, he learned from #SidneyBechet.

Looking forward to the conversations here. I'm Michelle Hargrave, Lead Pastor at Mankato Centenary United Methodist Church. Grounded in #Jesus, #JohnWesley, #mystics and #SocialJustice. I am into #GeekCulture, #reading, #photography, #poetry, and #needlework of all kinds, play #clarinet in a #TraditionalJazz band, parent of #BIPOC and #Transgender kids. #ProgressiveChristianity #Methodist #Minnesota #VisibleMending #DoctorWho
