Sidewalk Meeting is an album by saxophonist Ted Nash which was recorded in 2000 and released on the Arabesque label the following year.
[1][2] The AllMusic review by David R. Adler said "With Sidewalk Meeting, saxophonist Ted Nash premieres a new, highly unconventional group called Odeon.
His bass clarinet winds around the plunger trombone of Wycliffe Gordon, Miri Ben-Ari’s violin and William Schimmel’s accordion throughout.
They open with Debussy mined from New Orleans by way of an Argentinean tango (read swinging).
[5] In JazzTimes, Aaron Steinberg wrote "On Sidewalk Meeting, Odeon demonstrates such a strong sound identity that when they cover Ellington’s “Amad” (from The Far East Suite), Monk’s “Bemsha Swing” and even Debussy’s “Premier Rhapsody,” they make it sound as if the material were written specifically for them".
