en ces temps là Sydney Béchett était bien en France .........à Fresnes

Mais Sidney Bechet a un fort caractère, et en 1928, une bagarre éclate entre lui et le banjo sur lequel il tire. Le drame est évité, mais Sidney Bechet se retrouve 11 mois en prison à Fresnes puis expulsé de France.

On April 18, 1941, as an early experiment in overdubbing at Victor, Bechet recorded a version of the pop song « The Sheik of Araby », playing six different instruments : clarinet, soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, piano, bass, and drums. A hitherto unissued master of this recording was included in the 1965 LP Bechet of New Orleans, issued by RCA Victor as LPV-510. On the liner notes, George Hoeffer quotes Bechet as follows :

"I started by playing The Sheik on piano, and played the drums while listening to the piano. I meant to play all the rhythm instruments, but got all mixed up and grabbed my soprano, then the bass, then the tenor saxophone, and finally finished up with the clarinet."
