Sidney Bechet and at the drums: Sugar Ray Robinson, American professional boxer. Frequently cited as the greatest boxer of all time. Cannes 1954.

In a Cannes performance from 1954, soprano saxophonist Sidney Bechet concentrates on his instrument, cheeks puffed with air. He is accompanied on the drums by Sugar Ray Robinson, the American professional boxer frequently cited as the greatest of all time. Dressed in a dark suit and patterned tie, Robinson smiles warmly as his hands, holding drumsticks, are captured in motion. On his bass drum, a decal of a propeller airplane is visible.
