UK IMPORT. ALL ANALOGUE. 180g BLACK VINYL LP. "This release offers a unique glimpse of a young Chet Baker in a quintet setting, complemented by a nine-piece string section. Utilizi ng the uniquely modern arrangements of Johnny Mandel, Marty Paich, Jack Montrose, and Shorty Rogers, this interaction of “West Coast cool” with primordial elevator music escapes many — if not indeed all — of the potential sonic pitfalls such a marriage might suggest. In the truest sense of the word augmentation, the string arrangements provide the desired opulence sans the heavy-handed or syrupy residual effects." Show more
