Outstanding French band playing the music of the black dance bands of the 1920's - not recreations, but reinterpretations. Featuring the leader on cornet, Patrick Bacqueville on trombone and vocals, Marc Bresdin, Michel Bescont, Nicholas Montier on saxes, Gerard Gervois on tuba and Bernard Thevin on piano. Very hot and energetic live recordings!

Chicago clarinetist Teschemacher influenced a generation of hot jazz players, despite dying in a car crash when he was in his mid-20's.
