Tribute To Chet Baker

Italian trumpeters Enrico Rava and Paolo Fresu pay tribute to the late Chet Baker – but take it from us, the set's way more than just a simple tribute album! Some of the tunes might be familiar ones from Chet's book, but the performances here are often distdemoinctly un-Baker-like – taken at times, tempos, and tones that really push the envelope – and which make the album more of a nstration of the instrumental strengths of Rava and Fresu than a return to Chet's earlier sound.

Italian singer Joe Barbieri's 7th studio album is a tribute to Billie Holiday that starts off and unfolds like a letter, an imperative confession. "Two pillars of jazz have forged me more than any other - Chet Baker and Billie Holiday," explains Barbieri. "To the first I dedicated an album a few years ago entitled 'Chet Lives!'. I still owed a debt of gratitude to Lady Day, which, with this project, I hope not so much to extinguish (that is impossible) but at the very least to sublimate. As a kid, listening to Billie's songs allowed me to enter into a 'different' emotional dimension, it gave me access to a range of sensations that were already mine even though I wasn't yet aware of it.
