Celebrating Sidney Bechet with Tony Balluff of the South Side Aces

Jazz88 Morning Show Host Peter Solomon speaks with Tony Balluff, a clarinetist who leads the Twin Cities-based traditional jazz ensemble, The South Side Aces. Balluff is something of a jazz historian, and speaks eloquently about the innovative artists that created the artform. Sunday, March 22nd, the South Side Aces and some friends will be featured playing Bechet's music at Jazz Age Rumpus V, taking place at the Hook and Ladder Theater. Concurrently, the South Side Aces are releasing a new album called "Les Oignons," dedicated mostly to the music Bechet recorded in France in the 1950's.
