In Milan Chet Baker Chet swings with an
all-Italian band. This is Chet's last significant recording until Chet
Is Back, 2 years later. The arrangements are tight, the solos are
clean and crisp. With Chet's long, swinging solo, the Line for Lyons
found here may be better that his earlier versions with Mulligan or
Freeman. The two sax players sit out the last two tracks, so we get to
hear more Chet, especially on the one ballad on the album, My Old Flame.
