Chet Baker - At Capolinea (1983) Genre: Jazz / cool, West Coast Recorded: October 1983, Milano, Italy | Time: 43:36 | Label: Red Records 123206-2

From the title, you would assume that this was a live session. In fact, it is a studio recording of the highest quality. Chet fronts a sextet that includes Nicola Stilo and Michel Grailler. Members of the group contributed 4 of the 6 tracks. This is a superb issue and should be marked down in the "must have" category.

A nice studio date with some fresh, original material, and a fine band. Stilo's overlong solos and Mitchel's loud drumming only slightly mar this otherwise great CD. Diane Varva, Chet's long time girlfriend sits in on 2 tunes.

This studio session is distinguished by excellent, mostly Italian jazz tunes, and a very attractive group of players not usually associated with the trumpeter. The compatible flute of Nicola Stilo wonderfully complements Baker's dry, unemotional sound, while the addition of a third horn, Diane Varva's soprano sax, adds body to the sound. A very strong rhythm section of pianist Michel Grailler, bassist Riccardo dal Fra, and drummer Leo Mitchel rounds out a tight, well-groomed collective. Baker is in fine form, but he skips the vocals. Bruno Martino's "Estate" is hauntingly rendered, while J.J. Johnson's "Lament" is given an attractive reading. This amounts to a very accessible, enjoyable set of tunes — one that may not win any awards, but should reward those who appreciate the delicate and lovely nature of Chet Baker's art.
