Chet Baker • Smokin'

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
One of five albums Baker recorded with the same hard-driving quintet (tenor-saxophonist George Coleman, pianist Kirk Lightsey, bassist Herman Wright and drummer Roy Brooks) for Prestige within a short period of time, these sessions let one know he could break through his "cool" image by playing heated bop when he wanted to. It also finds him debuting on fluegelhorn and the softer tone of the horn fit his introverted sound well.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
Uno de los cinco álbumes que Baker grabó con el mismo quinteto (el tenor-saxofonista George Coleman, el pianista Kirk Lightsey, el bajista Herman Wright y el batería Roy Brooks) para Prestige en un corto período de tiempo, estas sesiones le permitieron saber que podía romper su imagen de "cool" tocando bop acalorado cuando quería. También debutó con el cuerno de flúor, cuyo tono más suave encajaba bien con su sonido introvertido.
