Sidney Bechet: "A Green Gal Can't Catch On" (Blues) Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas & Fender Champion 20

2023 marks the centenary of the first extant recordings by Sidney Bechet, which represent some of the most important recordings in the history of jazz (and indeed, in the history of modern music). So I've decided that this year I'll be recording some Bechet tunes, starting with this one, "A Green Gal Can't Catch On," originally recorded by Bechet with Clarence Williams and the great blues singer Sara Martin. This recording features a Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR performed through a Fender Champion 20 amp (Deluxe Reverb voice, treble and bass controls at 1), with the neck pickup in split mode, plus a Yamaha TRBX-174 bass performed through a Vox Amplug2 Clean, recorded directly in Audacity.
