Description
This music, originally issued in Italy as "Angel Eyes" (Celson LPQ-25005) and in the United States as "Chet Baker with Fifty Italian Strings" (Jazzland JLP-21), was recorded by the great Chet Baker in Milan, Italy, in 1959. It was his second European tour (the first one had taken place in 1955), and would lead to Baker's imprisonment in Italy for drug charges. Baker is backed by a big band conducted by Len Mercer (the artistic name of the Milanese conductor Ezio Leoni) in a repertoire of well-known standards, among them a new reading of the classic "My Funny Valentine". Tracks made by Chet in Italy during the same period for film soundtracks conducted by Piero Umiliani have been added as a bonus.
