Review:This audiophile CD is a
straight reissue of an Original Jazz Classics CD that is also very much
available. Trumpeter
Baker performs with a quartet/quintet including pianist
Al
Haig, bassist
Paul Chambers, drummer
Philly Joe Jones and (on four of the seven selections) tenor
saxophonist
Johnny Griffin. Highlights of this decent if not essential session
include "Polka Dots and Moonbeams," "Solar" and "When Lights Are Low." The
CD reissue adds a quintet version of "Soft Winds" from the same sessions
formerly released on a sampler. -- Scott Yanow,
