Chet Baker • The Improviser

Review by Scott Yanow

Baker recorded this Cadence LP in Norway, backed by a pair of fine Norweigan trios that in both cases include pianist Per Husby. In addition to Sam Rivers's "Beatrice" (a song that the trumpeter recorded numerous times) and the standard "Polka Dots and Moonbeams," this fine set includes interpretations of two Hal Galper songs ("Margarine" and "Night Bird") and Tadd Dameron's lesser-known "Gnid." Although a little loose in spots, this is an excellent date by the colorful trumpeter.

Baker grabó este Cadence LP en Noruega, respaldado por un par de excelentes tríos de Noruega, que en ambos casos incluyen al pianista Per Husby. Además de "Beatrice" de Sam Rivers (una canción que el trompetista grabó varias veces) y el estándar "Polka Dots and Moonbeams", este conjunto fino incluye interpretaciones de dos canciones de Hal Galper ("Margarine" y "Night Bird") y Tadd El menos conocido "Gnid" de Dameron. Aunque un poco suelto en lugares, esta es una fecha excelente por el colorido trompetista.
