Formidable Flutes: Hubert Laws
Hubert Laws built a nearly 50-year career on a solid reputation for genius. His mastery of both the flute and saxophone, and his virtuosity in not only jazz, but classical, pop, and rhythm-and-blues, has made him one of the most recognized and respected flautists in the history of jazz. He is also one of the most imitated.

Sidney Bechet, the Tenor Sax King
Sidney Bechet (1897-1959) started playing the clarinet when he was 13 years old. By the time of his death, at age 62, he was considered one of the most innovative and original clarinetists and soprano saxophonists in jazz. He brought to the instrument an unequaled energy, clarity and verve and was best known for his heavy vibrato. Temperamental and creative, Bechet left a profound mark in the way the clarinet and the soprano saxophone is played today. His autobiography, “Treat It Gentle” is still considered one of the best personal accounts of the life and times of a jazzman. This show explores his legacy.
