Torrent description
Chet Baker - Stairway to the Stars
Original Release Date: August 23, 1965
Label: Prestige
Bitrate: 320 kbps
During a three-day period in 1965, trumpeter Chet Baker {who during the era was exclusively playing flugelhorn} recorded five albums for Prestige that were soon forgotten, despite their quality. In 1997, the entire program was reissued on three CDs {which also include Lonely Star and On a Misty Night}, showing that Baker was in excellent form at the time. Chet is teamed with tenor saxophonist George Coleman, pianist Kirk Lightsey {in top form}, bassist Herman Wright and drummer Roy Brooks; the one-time gathering group on the whole sometimes recalls the Miles Davis Quintet of 1956. There are some occasional missteps {Baker gets a bit lost during the rapid rendition of "Cherokee" that opens this CD}, but overall, the music {some light swingers and a few more heated tracks} is quite rewarding. Producer Richard Carpenter {Baker's manager at the time and best known for writing "Walkin'"} contributed three songs to this set {and 13 others to the other two CDs}, which also includes three jazz standards, a few obscurities, and three Tadd Dameron originals. Enjoyable straight-ahead music. ~ AMG
In 1965 Baker returned to the US and in a massive recording session, recorded enough material for 5 LPs. These were later reissued on 3 CDs; although the music on all of them is consistently good, this one is the best of the three. "Cherokee" and "Bevan beeps" are excellent, as are the 2 blues compositions "Chabootie" and "Carpsie's groove," both taken fairly slow. George Coleman on tenor and Kirk Lightsey on piano are in great form, too. Recommended. ~ Bomajaz
