BAKER, CHET
THE HITS (57 TRACKS)
Barcode: 8436569194577 / Cat: 648061 / 3 CD / Label: NEW CONTINENT
Nel suo duplice ruolo di trombettista e cantante, Chet Baker è stato uno dei maestri indiscussi del jazz, in grado come pochi di raggiungere vette di intensità lirica e intimismo. Questo cofanetto da 3 cd raccoglie alcune delle sue migliori performance: 57 registrazioni in studio con un’eccellente qualità del suono. Tra i momenti salienti ci sono tre diverse letture di “My Funny Valentine” (una canzone che Baker ha trasformato in un classico), “Alone Together” e la celebre “Lush Life” di Billy Strayhorn. Baker è accompagnato qui da altri giganti del jazz come Bill Evans, Russ Freeman, Gerry Mulligan, Pepper Adams, Kenny Burrell, Kenny Drew, Paul Chambers e Philly Joe Jones.
