Köln Concert Chet Baker Quartet Unreleased
for 50 years, the new CD gives us a young Baker swinging with Dick
Twardzik less than 2 weeks before the pianist's tragic death. Recording
quality is good considering the age, and the tunes are long. Young Chet
introduces many of the tunes (even forgetting the name of one!) Playing
is crisp and lively, Chet blows hot on "Tommyhawk" and "C.T.A.", and
sings sweet on "Someone to Watch Over Me".
