AVID Jazz continues with its Three Classic albums plus series with a re-mastered 2CD release from Chet Baker, complete with original artwork and liner notes.
“In New York”; “Chet “; “Chet Is Back” plus three tracks from “I Soliti Ignoti (Big Deal On Madonna Street)” (featuring the music of Piero Umiliani)
Late 50s early 60s Chet at his best with three classic selections which find the trumpeter in the company of a cavalcade of jazz big hitters. And they don’t come much bigger than tenor sax supremo Johnny Griffin who blows hard alongside Chet, Paul Chambers on bass, and Al Haig on piano on our first album “In New York”. For “Chet” our hero is joined by.. get this line up... Herbie Mann, Pepper Adams, Bill Evans, Kenny Burrell, Paul Chambers, Philly Jo Jones and Connie Kay. If that doesn’t get your mouth watering and put your ears on alert, you’re probably already dead! Over to Italy for our last two sessions, “Chet Is Back” finds our man with superb Belgian sax and flute man Bobby Jaspar alongside some of the finest Italian jazz players of the era. Our last three tracks feature the film soundtrack music of Piero Umiliani where Chet is joined by the great composer himself for selections from I Soliti Ignoti (Big Deal On Madonna Street).
