Music reviews of Legendary Sessions
Music Review: Baker and Evans in Classic Form
Rating: 5 Stars
If you have the albums titled, "The Lyrical Trumpet of Chet Baker" and "Chet Baker Plays the Best of Lerner and Lowe", then you own 14 of the 15 tracks contained on this CD. The exception track," Almost like Being in Love" includes Baker but excludes Bill Evans.
However, if the above titles are not included in your jazz collection, this CD is highly recommended.
The sessions dates are identified as Dec. 1958, plus January and July 1959. Both featured artists are in top musical form. Their interpretations of these jazz standards are exceptional.
The backing musicians are truly the gold standard of jazz recording artists. All these individuals are legendary jazz icons with very successful solo careers. The ensemble includes Herbie Mann, Pepper Adams, Kenny Burrell, Paul Chambers, Connie Kay and Philly Joe Jones. All these artists turn in stellar performances. However, I have to single out Pepper Adams on baritone sax who really shines on these selections. The production values and mix are spot on, courtesy of Orrin Keepnews. The entire project maintains a leisurely tempo and a rich melodic and moody interpretation of these classic compositions.
Listeners are blessed that these sessions, the only recorded work between Baker and Evans, are available on one CD with a crystal clear sound to enjoy.
