Description
Chet Baker in New York has Chet Baker playing with great East Coast musicians: Philly Joe Jones on drums, Al Haig on piano, the great Paul Chambers on bass, and tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin added on three tracks.
Description
Although Chet Baker has become best known for his highly lyrical and introspective style (with respect to both his singing and horn playing), his sound could also be forceful in the style associated with East Coast jazz. By the time these recordings were made in September 1958, Chet Baker who began recording in 1952 had been a star for less than a decade. Apart from his obvious connection with the West Coast, Baker was also highly influenced by the New York players. He included a number of Miles Davis tunes in his program during many of his 1955 concerts in Europe, and always declared that Miles was his favourite trumpet player. He had also been chosen by the great Charlie Parker to join his band for his 1952 California dates. The legendary saxophonist s hiring of Baker showed that even Bird thought the young trumpeter's style was compatible with his own. Bird s group included pianist Al Haig, who is also the pianist on Chet Baker in New York. Soft Winds, which completes the session, wasn't included on the original album and first appeared on a various artists LP.
