Olivier Franc est vraiment le seul saxophoniste soprano ayant pratiquement atteint le génie de Sidney Bechet... son fils Daniel, à la batterie, peut en témoigner !
A great tribute to Sidney's wonderful tone-brought tears to my eyes! Every time I listen I am moved by the raw passion exhibitted in that Bechet sound and that sound is recaptured here -voila!
Avec le temps , Olivier est devenu un sosie presque parfait de Sidney Bechet au soprano . Jouer comme ça n'avait rien du tout de facile ! Il l'a fait...........Chapeau , Monsieur Franc !!!
Visit Paris and if you are Lucky, you'll enjoy his wonderfull music on the bridge Saint-Louis, together with his son playing the piano. It's great, his notes echoing over the waves of the Seine from St. Germain to Le Marais. (and get an ice-cream at Berthillion)
That’s right, I’ve just experienced it today !!! It was very nice . I spoke to him and his son at the end of the show, I congratulated him for giving us so much fun during these difficult moments we are all living, he’s a very friendly man ! (Sorry for my english 😅)
I saw him and his son playing at the Notre-Dam this weekend. Wow, what an amazing jazz musicians these guys are! Perfect. Have a look on my channel for the video.
C'es t très beau ! Il a une très belle sonorité qui se rapproche de celle de Sidney Bechet.Une parfaite maitrise de l'instrument. Voilà un musicien que je ne connaissais pas et que je découvre avec délectation.
Every time I long for Paris, I just listen to Olivier Franc, close my eyes and I'm back on Pont de St. Louis on a beautiful spring morning. One of the things that keep me goïng.
Música extraordinária, performance fantástica, para se ouvir sempre e se alegrar sempre ao ouví-la! Músicos maravilhosos! Bravo, Olivier Franc! Bravo, Sidney Bechet!
You know Olivier plays Bechet's Buescher Soprano from 1924? He received it from Guy Demole, who bought it at an auction for more that 120000 Euros (I had the privilege to "touch" it one during a concert)
Can't decide if I prefer the sound of a sax or a clarinet, but this is a great interpretation. I'm collecting all kinds of versions of this wonderful tune and I ain't heard a bad one yet.
Très bel enchaînement avec : As-tu le cafard ... bravo pour votre concert hier sur 🚢 . Un grand moment de bonheur....merci Bravo à votre talentueux fils au piano
Que delícia de música, sabiamente utilizada como tema de fundo por Woody Allen, para ornamentar com graça e elegância seu filme "Minuit à Paris", realizado na capital francesa, em 2010, tributo à Paris da época áurea de Gertrude Stein, que reunia em seu apartamento de Montparnasse, no 27, rue de Fleurus, Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald e Zelda, Picasso, Man Ray e outros gênios. O grande Sidney Bechet, como sabemos, nasceu em New Orleans, mas viveu grande parte de sua vida em Paris, onde morreu e está sepultado na comuna de Garches, juntinho da capital, no mesmo cemitério local onde se encontra o filósofo francês Henri Bergson.
I was first introduced to Brahms piano concerto # 1 in the film “The L-Shaped Room “. Barry Lyndon: Schubert Piano Trio in E Flat. Eyes Wide Shut: Shostakovich Jazz Suite #2 Innumerable opera pieces from Bugs Bunny cartoons! La Boheme from “Moonstruck “ And this “Si tu vois ma mere” from “Midnight in Paris “ Movie soundtracks have served to introduce great music to millions!
On the 10th of july, a little jazz ensemble with a double bass and a soprano saxophone played on teh Rue des Franc Bourgeois (le Marais between the Place des Vosges and the Rue des Rosiers). Their repertoir consisted also of jazz-standards en pieces from Sidney Bechet. So, it was a sunday morning just before noon, it was Paris, it was as Sopsax, an older lady dressed in a kind of retrostyle dance on the pavement, they were also selling CD's but it was nothing compared with that wonderfull sunday in 2011 on the pont de st. Louis.
it´s magnific, it´s the jazz in all expression. Woody Allen known, without doubt, everything that this composition could be neccesary from Paris. This is a brilliant interpretation, and i´m sure that might listen it a lot of times and i would bring all my memories in a moment. Excellent jazz, amazing notes in a space. Salut!
Covid 19 kept me from visiting Paris in 2020 and just could make a two-day trip to Boulogne s Mer. Hopefully next july or october traveling will be normal again I'm longing for an icecream at Berthillon's and some street-artists on the pont de St. Louis.
what a wonderful sound Bechet had...I have been a sucker for the soprano sax most all my life..thanks for keeping it alive
Voilà un élève digne de son maître quel plaisir que cette musique se perpétue malgré la disparition de Sydney ....
Si....buenísima esta versión. Me gusto mucho. Le recomiendo una versión de Ewin Bleach, le aseguro la disfrutara. Saludo cordial
Olivier is an extraterrestrial man! What a genious saxophonist! Fabulous. Great band!
Well. That is and will always be music for the heart. Touching deeply and performed by absolute masters representing a long forgotten era.
This man is from other planet(olivier) a true extraordinary musician.
He is! Saw him playing this weekend. Wow. Sow bueatiful
Quel immense talent j'ai été bercee par Sidney Bechet dans mon enfance et je retrouve la même magie en vous écoutant merci Olivier vous êtes génial
Olivier Franc est vraiment le seul saxophoniste soprano ayant pratiquement atteint le génie de Sidney Bechet... son fils Daniel, à la batterie, peut en témoigner !

Merci Olivier pour cette mélodie inoubliable, ce bel hommage à Sidney Bechet avec son fils Daniel à la batterie.

Fantastic sax soprano.
That soprano sax has a mild tone. A Lacquered Sound. Modern and new. Clean. Deep.
C'est magnifique. Il n'y a pas trop de vibrato, c'est comme il faut! Super!
Just...wow...such authentic New Orleans style playing.
Toujours aussi superbe !
god I love this
I love it
je ne comprend pas pourquoi qu'a chaque fois que j'écoute cette sublime musique les larmes me viennent aux yeux

Cela me rappel ma jeunesse et le Slow Club.

I saw him a couple of years ago at the jazzfest in Luneray (Seine Maritime). I will never forget. He is just fantastic
Quel bonheur, la meilleure version jamais écoutée.
