Chet Baker - Chet Baker At Capolinea (FLAC)

Recorded at the CAP Studios, Milan, October 1983, and issued on the Italian 'RED' label. Review by Steve Loewy (AMG) This studio session is distinguished by excellent, mostly Italian jazz tunes, and a very attractive group of players not usually associated with the trumpeter. The compatible flute of Nicola Stilo wonderfully complements Baker's dry, unemotional sound, while the addition of a third horn, Diane Varvra's soprano sax, adds body to the sound. A very strong rhythm section of pianist Michel Grailler, bassist Riccardo dal Frà, and drummer Leo Mitchell rounds out a tight, well-groomed collective. Baker is in fine form, but he skips the vocals. Bruno Martino's "Estate" is hauntingly rendered, while J.J. Johnson's "Lament" is given an attractive reading. This amounts to a very accessible, enjoyable set of tunes - one that may not win any awards, but should reward those who appreciate the delicate and lovely nature of Chet Baker's art.
