Chet Baker

• 180-gram vinyl lp
• GATEFOLD COVER

• REMASTERED FROM ORIGINAL ANALOGUE TAPES
• CUTTING AND PRESS PALLAS GROUP, GERMANY

1985 was perhaps the best year of the last phase of Baker’s career and the recordings with Catherine and Rassinfosse are clear proof of this. These, in general, are all of great artistic standing and show that the trio, born almost extemporaneously, had turned into a real group, in which the musicians conversed with each other, but also had ample spaces at their disposal to express themselves as soloists.

A trio without piano and drums in which the lyricism of Baker’s trumpet, Catherine’s nervous guitar phrasing, as well as the solidity of Rassinfosse’s constant rhythmic drive, ensured the music a surprising balance based on contrasts
