Although he was one of the earliest great Jazz soloists to record, pre-dating Louis Armstrong, Bechet's early discography is surprisingly sparse, likely due in part to extensive European touring and an 11 month incarceration circa 1928. From a discography available at The Sidney Bechet Society:

>Bechet did not make as many recordings in total through his life as his undoubted ability suggests. Below is a
count of the studio recordings he made for each year from 1923, excluding alternate takes:
1923 - 28/1924 - 17/1925 - 8/1926-1930 - 0/1931 - 6/1932 - 6/1933 - 0/1934 - 4/1935 - 0/1936- 6/1937- 6...

The number of sessions ramps up from the late '30's onward. A compilation like this one would be good for the early years.
