Anat Cohen Celebrates the Music of Sidney Bechet

Tonight through December 6th Anat Cohen continues her series at the Village Vanguard by celebrating the music of Sidney Bechet. Like her highly acclaimed tribute to Benny Goodman this summer (to be released in early 2010 on Anzic) Cohen continues to mix tradition with innovation, paying tribute to the legacy of Bechet while using his music as a framework for her explorations of the swing idiom. Anat will be joined by Howard Alden on Guitars, Carlos Henriquez on Bass and Herlin Riley on Drums. Sets at 9 and 11. For tickets click here
