Torrent description

Chet Baker - Two A Day
Year: 1978
Bitrate: 320 kbps

One of the numerous Chet Baker recordings that appeared for the first time following his mysterious death in 1988, this 1991 release was taped the day after Broken Wing was recorded. Primarily a set of standards, the quartet (with pianist Phil Markowitz, bassist Jean-Luis Rasinfosse, and drummer Jeff Brillinger) starts with "Two a Day," a brisk but brief original blues by the leader. Baker is at his lyrical best as a trumpeter on the foot patting take of "If I Should Lose You," while his hushed vocals prove effective during an otherwise rather long "This Is Always." Markowitz is an especially sensitive accompanist through this studio session. With well over 40 dates as a leader by Chet Baker recorded between 1970 and the end of his life (with more to appear for the first time, no doubt), this release may not be an early priority for the typical fan of cool jazz, but serious jazz collectors will want to acquire it. ~ AMG

Very tight set by the band that made the masterpiece 'Broken Wing' around the same time. A pity Chet didn't work with pianist Phil Markowitz on more recordings, as his clear and swinging style complements the trumpeter about as well as anyone since Russ Freeman in the early days. ~ Bobo Da Klown
