Chet Baker- Sings & plays with Len Mercer & His Orchestra Angel Eyes
The lyricism of Chet Baker cannot be doubted because Chet in his musical expressions remains as singerand musicians essentially romantic. He fits beautifully into a context created around him and for him, acontext that finds in the sonority of his trumpet or in the opacity of his voice a leading element, dominator and at the same time attractive and fascinating.The songs on this record are aimed to everyone: jazz fans and those who are not very familiar with jazz. For music arrangers Ezio Leoni and Giulio Libano the work ground with Chet has been smoothed out: there was no need to build beyond the measure, it was important to expand, enhance, galvanize what Chet wanted to express. They have alternated lyrical songs with more stringent and alive tracks. With the continuous alternation of times, expressions and atmospheres they made sure to avoid any monotony.The orchestra that recorded the album was consisted of 16 violins, 4 violas, 4 cellos, a flute, a bass clarinet, an oboe, a French horn, a harp which matched with Glauco Massetti's alto sax, Fausto Papetti's baritone sax, Mario Pezzotta's trombone, Gianni Basso's tenor sax, Franco Cerri's double bass, Gene Victory's drums. An imposing orchestra that was able to mix perfectly and alternate purely jazzy instruments with strings during the performances.The repertoire included in the album ranges a lot: from well-known motifs such as 'Angel Eyes', 'When IFall In Love' or 'I Should Care', to others less known but very pleasant tracks as 'The Song Is You' or'Forgetful'. Other tracks lend themselves perfectly to a wider orchestration such as 'Autumn In New York', 'Violets for Your Fur' or 'Deep in A Dream'. Another theme was treated with a thrifty intervention of the strings, almost a crown of the whole performance, represented by the recording 'Street of Dreams'. In the last track ?Good-bye? of Side ?A? Chet expresses an exceptional sadness in a very valid and unusual way.The tracks were recorded on September 28, 1958 and October 5, 1959 at the Guertler Bros. Recordingstudio.
