"Chet Baker In Milan" is one of Chet's finest albums. The year 1959 proved to be a very good year musically for Baker who also recorded one of his seminal recordings simply titled "Chet," which was an all ballads album. "In Milan" is a very swinging set with some Italian musicians whom I've never heard of, but this doesn't mean that they are slouches. All of them have a deep understanding of the jazz language. These musicians include:Clauco Masetti (alto saxophone); Gianno Basso (tenor saxophone); Renato Sellani (piano); Franco Serri (bass); and Gene Victory (drums). If you're a fan of cool jazz or Chet Baker, then check out this record, you won't be sorry.
