What the Critics Say
Chet Baker often sounded at his best during his later years when playing with a quiet trio consisting of himself, guitar and a bassist. For this reissue from the German Inak label, the trumpeter is joined in 1979 not only by guitarist Larry Coryell and bassist Buster Williams but by the mellow-toned vibraphonist Wolfgang Lackerschmid (who gets co-leadership) and a very restrained Tony Williams on drums. Although the CD only has 36 minutes of music, the mostly little-known material (five originals by the sidemen plus "Here's That Rainy Day") suits Baker fine. The emphasis is on slower tempoes (other than Buster Williams's closing blues) including a pair of jazz waltzes and Baker's chops sound fine within the limited scope that he plays. The overall results are not essential but are worthwhile. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
