Baker, Chet

In Milan

Recorded in October 1959, with heroin a caustic presence, 'In Milan' is the first of the albums Chet Baker cut in Europe, revisiting West Coast cool jazz nuggets with drummer Gene Victory and a set of local players, including bassist Franco Serri and pianist Renato Sellani, bolstered by saxophonists Glauco Masetti and Gianno Basso on select tracks. Bop favourites such as Charlie Parker & Miles Davis' 'Cheryl' and Davis' 'Tune Up' are handled with care, and there's a fine take of 'Line For Lyons,' which Baker first recorded as a member of Gerry Mulligan's Quartet, with a great solo by Serri. It's Baker at his best - thoroughly excellent! Comes on clear vinyl.
