Review:Against
all odds,
Baker made a
successful comeback in the mid-'70s after several years totally outside of
music. This LP from A&M Horizon features him with a large group on three
selections playing
Don Sebesky
arrangements. Tenor-saxophonist
Michael Brecker and
guitarist
John Scofield are
among the all-star supporting cast on "Love for Sale," "Un Poco Loco" and
"El Morro." The fourth selection has altoist
Paul Desmond (on
his very last recording) interacting with the trumpeter/leader on a small
group version of
Sebesky's "You
Can't Go Home Again." This is worth searching for. -- Scott Yanow, All
Music Guide This CD features previously unissued material from the same sessions that resulted in You Can't Go Home Again and, if anything, the music is a touch better. While an alternate take of Don Sebesky's "El Morro" uses a larger group, the other five performances find Baker accompanied just by a rhythm section (pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Ron Carter, drummer Tony Williams and, on one song, guitarist Gene Bertoncini). As a special bonus, altoist Paul Desmond makes memorable appearances on three songs during what would be his final recording session. Throughout, Chet Baker shows that his playing during his much documented final period would be equal if not superior to his more acclaimed recordings of the 1950s. -- Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
