Music Review: Chet Baker - Chet Baker in New York
"Polka Dots," an outstanding track and one of the best he ever recorded, captures the tension between the musicians' styles just right. Baker's soloing is equal to anything that was produced during this era. Another highlight is "Hotel 49," which at just under ten minutes serves as a vehicle for extended improvisational solos. This is one of the tracks to feature saxophonist Johnny Griffin, and his interaction with Baker yield superior results from them having challenged each other. Not all the material was successful, though, and I can't help but think that Baker was just phoning it in at times. He spent the better part of two decades residing and performing in Europe, releasing albums on a string of smaller labels, until his untimely death at the age of 58. Chet Baker in New York nevertheless remains an interesting stop on his musical journey. It may not be the best or most consistent album he ever produced, but it certainly ranks among the more interesting ones.Jazz Trumpeter Jones - News
