Chet Baker - The Touch Of Your Lips
Release Date: Jun 21, 1979
Label - Steeple Chase
Bitrate: 320 kbps

The minimalist setting is perfect for this collections pretty tunes. Chet's playing is inspired and almost flawless, and Doug Raney adds some great solos. This same trio would later record the famous October 4, 1979 concert that spawned 3 great SteepleChase CD's. ~ Chetbakertribute.com

This was the perfect setting during his later years. The trumpeter (who also sings on two of the six songs) sounds very relaxed and comfortable while accompanied by the duo of guitarist Doug Raney and bassist Niels Pedersen, taking some consistently lyrical solos on the six standards. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG

I have to confess I never cared much for Chet Baker, mostly because I had an image of him doing the same thing over and over again. This 1979 recording, however, made me change my mind. Not that Chet does anything surprising, mind you : it's exactly the kind of quiet and romantic music you'd expect from him. But how well does he do it ! Although Chet never leaves the middle register of the trumpet, his improvisations are lyrical and well-built and his singing, well, let's say it's a perfect complement to his trumpet playing !

The sidemen, Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen (bass) and Doug Raney (guitar) serve Chet perfectly and contribute some very tasteful solos of their own. Finally, the recording quality and the mix are perfect, at least to my ears.

My conclusion : I guess Chet Baker wasn't so boring after all... ~ melodius
