Chet & Pepper

 

Chet Baker - Plays The Best Of Lerner & Loewe [CR00360 USA 2021 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Originally released on Riverside Records back in 1959.

It is that time of the week to kick back, slip into something a little more comfortable, pour yourself a wee dram. It all starts again tomorrow, in the meantime here is some more Chet. 

This was to be one of Baker's last albums recorded in the USA as he, along with many of his peers, was heading for Europe. On this album he plays the tunes of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Lowe from the many musicals composed by the two. He is joined by Bill Evans on piano, Earl May on bass, Herbie Mann, Zoot Simms & Pepper Adams on sax, and Herbie Mann on flute. 

Kevin Gray cut this release from the original master tapes for Craft Recordings a few years back, RTI took care of the pressing.
