Chet Baker Quintet • At the Forum Theater

 



Chet Baker Quintet (with Phil Urso and Bobby Timmons) - At the Forum Theater (1956) {Fresh Sound Records FSRCD 9004, Spain} - 1995
This cd contains,the recordings he made with his quintetthe crewunder Dick Bocks direction at the Los Angeles Forum Theatre in July 1956. On these sessions Chet plays throughout with even greater warmth, virility and maturity of conception than on previous recordings, but with the lyricism that was his forte intact. Ursos earthy, strongly swinging tenor, out of the brothers school, also raises the ante. In the rhythm section Bobby Timmons, who adds a powerful solo voice on piano, is buoyantly funky, while Jimmy Bond and Peter Littman complete a grooving, effectively driving unit behind the soloists.

Chet Baker Quintet (con Phil Urso y Bobby Timmons) - At the Forum Theater (1956) {Fresh Sound Records FSRCD 9004, España} - 1995
Este cd contiene las grabaciones que hizo con su quinteto bajo la dirección de Dick Bocks en el Forum Theatre de Los Angeles en julio de 1956. En estas sesiones Chet toca con mayor calidez, virilidad y madurez de concepción que en grabaciones anteriores, pero con el lirismo que era su fuerte intacto. El tenor de Ursos, terrenal y con un fuerte swing, salido de la escuela de los hermanos, también sube la apuesta. En la sección rítmica, Bobby Timmons, que añade una poderosa voz solista al piano, es alegremente funky, mientras que Jimmy Bond y Peter Littman completan una unidad groove y eficaz detrás de los solistas.
