A The Ultimate Jazz Archive egy öszzesen 168 (!) lemezből álló – tehát igazán átfogónak tekinthető – válogatás, melynek hatodik része a klasszikus jazz, a ragtime és a dixieland híres előadóinak világába kalauzol. A mai menü: Sidney Bechet, Washboard Rhythm Kings, Mezz Mezzrow, Pee Wee Russell.
Set 6 – CD 1: Sidney Bechet
Sidney Joseph Bechet (1897-1959) amerikai dzsesszzenész, szaxofonos, klarinétos, zeneszerző. A dzsessz első nagy (a blues) korszakának egyik meghatározó egyénisége volt. Évtizedeken át ő volt az egyetlen állandó szopránszaxofonos. Ezenkívül rendszeresen játszott klarinéton is. Az 1909-et követő esztendőkben olyan legendás zenészek együtteseiben klarinétozott, mint Buddy Petit, John Robichaux és Bunk Johnson. 1919-ben a Will Marion Cook zenekar tagjaként Európában turnézott. Londoni tartózkodása alatt kezdett foglalkozni a szopránszaxofonnal. Ő lett a nehéz hangszer első igazi mestere. Ernest Ansermet is felfigyelt játékára. Lemezfelvételeket készített többek között Louis Armstrong, Tommy Ladnier és Eddie Condon partnereként. 1938-ban szabóként dolgozott New Yorkban. A következő évben az akkor induló új Blue Note label részére elkészítette a Summertime híressé vált felvételét. Az 1940-es években Bechet újra Európába ment, majd végleg Párizsba költözött, ahol végre teljes és végleges megbecsülést szerzett. Az 1958-as brüsszeli világkiállításon nagy sikerrel, de már betegen lépett fel. A 62. születésnapján halt meg rákban. Lakóhelyén, Antibes-ban emlékművet állítottak neki, és teret neveztek el róla.

Set 6 – CD 3: Mezz Mezzrow
Milton Mesirow, better known as Mezz Mezzrow (1899-1972) was an American jazz clarinetist and saxophonist from Chicago, Illinois.[1] Mezzrow is well known for organizing and financing historic recording sessions with Tommy Ladnier and Sidney Bechet. Mezzrow also recorded a number of times with Bechet and briefly acted as manager for Louis Armstrong. He is equally well remembered, however, for being a colorful character, as clearly portrayed in his autobiography Really the Blues, as for his music. The book, which takes its title from a Bechet musical piece, was co-written by Bernard Wolfe and first published in 1946.

Set 6 – CD 4: Pee Wee Russell
Charles Ellsworth Russell, much better known by his nickname Pee Wee Russell (1906-1969), was a jazz musician. Early in his career he played clarinet and saxophones, but he eventually focused solely on clarinet. With a highly individualistic and spontaneous clarinet style that “defied classification”, Russell began his career playing Dixieland jazz, but throughout his career incorporated elements of newer developments such as swing, bebop and free jazz. In the words of Philip Larkin, “No one familiar with the characteristic excitement of his solos, their lurid, snuffling, asthmatic voicelessness, notes leant on till they split, and sudden passionate intensities, could deny the uniqueness of his contribution to jazz.”
