At his 1951 wedding to Elizabeth Ziegler in Antibes, jazz musician Sidney Bechet takes to the checkered dance floor with the celebrated French star Mistinguett. Captured from an unconventional low angle by a photographer lying on the floor at their feet, the couple is a blur of joyous motion. Guests at the outdoor reception look on with amusement as dappled sunlight filters through a canopy, adding to the scene's dynamic energy.
