About Backstage Footage
Backstage footage captures the world that exists just out of the audience’s sight — the nervous energy before going on, the adrenaline after coming off, the camaraderie, the tension, and the mundane reality of life on the road. These clips humanise artists in a way that stage performances and interviews rarely do.
About Sidney Bechet
Sidney Joseph Bechet was an American jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer. He was one of the first important soloists in jazz, and first recorded several months before trumpeter Louis Armstrong. His erratic temperament hampered his career, and not until the late 1940s did he earn wide acclaim. Bechet spent much of his later life in France.
