Chet Baker In New York.......2005-03-21

This isn't 'west coast' vs. 'east coast.' This is five extraudinary musicians, from different backgrounds who got together for a September session to record standards and jazz classics.

Chet Baker selected Johnny Griffen on tenor saxophone, Al Haig, a pioneer of bebop piano on piano, the bassist who was never out of work in the mid 50's and early 60's, Paul Chambers, and the hosue drummer for Riverside and Prestige Records, Philly Joe Jones.

The five men play together beautifully, although Griffen is left out on four tracks. Chet was a good material picker. The album opens up with 'Fair Weather.' Other great songs are 'Moonbeams,' When Lights Are Low,' and 'Hotel 49.'

In the liner notes, Orrin Keepknews stresses the fact that Chet is from California and the rest are from the east coast, (Philly, etc..) I find that to be a little irrelevant. This is just good jazz. No need to put a label on it.

Chet and crew gave way for a neat little album. It has been remastered in the fullest of form, except for the fact that Chet's horn gets destorted throughout the album. Musically, this album is brilliant. I just wish Chet would of stayed in New York a little longer, to make some more good jazz.

Man, Oh Man!!.......2004-01-11

Isn't it funny? "East coast vs. West coast" debates are almost universal. In the 90's it was hip hop, in the 70's it was funk, and in the 50's it was - you guessed it - bebop. This CD was recorded in the thick of the bebop "Eeast v. West" wars; Chet Baker, the quintessential West coast trumpet player with laid back sound meets a stunning east coast rythm section, the bass and drums of which are from Miles Davis's fame. The results are unique, masterful and phenomenal.

Without further ado let me say that this is in my top 5 list of jazz discs. Here we have Baker's laid back west coast melodicism (as he played by ear without technical training, his solos have a vocal-like melodicism) mixed with the undeniable east coast 'aggressive' swing. Both compliment eachother beautifully.

My favorites? "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" has an undeniable magic and Baker's solo is one of the best I've heard EVER (right beside Miles' "Freddy Freeloader"). "Hotel 49" is a blistering track finding Baker surpisingly comfortable out of his element in the world of hard bop. "Fair Weather" starts off the CD and while not the strongest track (that goes to "Polka Dots and Moonbeams") it may be the track that captures the overall magic of the session and the 'tension of opposites' between Baker's laid back approach and the unrelenting east coast swing.

Again, this CD is in the top 5 in my collection and when you hear it, you too may well understand why!

This is a nice one.......2003-09-30

While the CD as a whole is pretty good, "Hotel 49" makes this CD shine, and I'd get it for this song alone. It's a hard, swinging song very unlike the songs he's trademarked for. He actually proves that he can play the trumpet. He teamed up with one of Miles' guys on this album as well, so you may hear some similarites (which isn't a bad thing). I also recommend "Chet." It's very mellow.

A great addition (or start) to any jazz collection.......2001-08-24

The songs on this are all of a uniformly high quality with excellent performances by Chet Baker on trumpet, Johnny Griffin on tenor sax (for tracks 1, 3 and 5), Al Haig on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums. The sound quality of the recording is very good with no audible artifacts. Hard to believe it's a live recording.

The takes are medium in length, Solar being the shortest at 5:49 and Hotel 49 being the longest at 9:52. The quartet/quintet plays together well and makes amazing music, especially for "Polka Dots.." and "Hotel 49". The music is also very approachable without being simple. This is one of the Jazz CD's my classical loving wife really likes. Highly recommended.

Pretty good but..........2003-06-10

Fans of Baker's string-saturated arrangements will like the tracks here that originally appeared on the 'Fifty Italian Strings' collection. However, these tracks are not remastered and have very limited sound (e.g., Chet's vocals are only audible from one speaker).

Another Year, Another Chet.......2000-12-30

Years after Chet Baker's death, good-quality CDs of his trumpet-playing and singing continue to turn up. One of the latest is this 17-song English offering from 1960 recording sessions in Italy. In addition to the title tune, the CD includes "Angel Eyes," "Street of Dreams," "Indian Summer," "Violets for Your Furs," "Goodbye" and "Deep in a Dream." The number of songs and the price ensure that you can't go wrong by adding this to your collection.

At a time when the merits of West Coast cool jazz and East Coast hard bop were being hotly debated, the seemingly innocuous title of this album spoke volumes. Chet Baker, whose cool trumpet epitomized the subdued, romantic sound of West Coast jazz, was heading East to blow with the hot tenor sax of Johnny Griffin and the hard-swinging tandem of Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums. The results on this 1958 reissue are both instructive and enjoyable. The rhythm section pushes Baker to play with uncharacteristic vigor on Miles Davis's "Solar," whereas Baker's command on ballads such as "When Lights Are Low" influences Griffin to expose his more melancholy leanings. Mostly, though, this is a solid, midtempo blowing session, characteristic of the era, and, in retrospect, makes the West Coast/East Coast debate seem a bit overblown, if not altogether irrelevant. --Wally Shoup
