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

In Cannes, 1954, jazz great Sidney Bechet closes his eyes in deep concentration as he plays the soprano saxophone. He is accompanied on the drums by legendary boxer Sugar Ray Robinson. Dressed in a dark suit, Robinson smiles towards his fellow musician, drumsticks poised over a kit decorated with decals. The intimate performance is set against a dark curtain and a wall adorned with climbing ivy, the lighting focused on their dynamic interaction.
