The Hot Jazz style was pretty much dead by 1932. Public tastes were shifting to the less wild, more arranged, big band style of Swing. The New Orleans joyful style of collective improvisation that is represented here did not match the mood of the Depression era. In the late 1930’s and 1940s Bechet revived the band’s name as Sidney Bechet and his New Orleans Feetwarmers. See also: Sidney Bechet: Profiles in Jazz |
