Vol Pour Sidney V/A

Oh! We could tell you that there are 28 pieces in a game of dominoes, and that it takes a lot of dominoes to make records, or that 28 is the number of nickel and nickel nuptials and that we wanted to make a "nickel" record, or that it is a key number for reproduction or that it was the address of the famous Dunois Theater where

a lot of things took root, but it will be more honest to say that it just fell like that.

In 1992, nato released Vol pour Sidney (aller), a collective album dedicated to Sidney Bechet's compositions.
