Chet Baker: Two a Day auf LP

Chet Baker was an immense jazzman, in the category of “they don’t make ‘em like that any more.” He is one of those rare musicians who played ‘his’ music the way you and I live our lives. An inveterate ladies’ man, Chet Baker knew how to tell secrets, existential, poorly timed confessions, culminating in simple, naked, unbruised beauty. In this marvelous CD, recorded ten years before his death, with the help of an unsung but excellent pianist (Phil Markowitz), we rediscover the art of this iconic trumpet player. Chet whispers to us with his voice and his trumpet, ingredients in his timeless music, which even after his death continues to disconcert and delight us.
