Chet Baker Live at Ronnie Scott
By
The inclusion of a piano negates any attempt to recreate Baker’s legendary "West Coast" sound, but his renditions of such familiar favorites as "Just Friends," "My Ideal" and a modern and even funky take on "Love For Sale" take the British fans (and video viewers) back to Chet’s way of "cool school" Jazz. Overall, Chet Baker Live is an eye-opening and eye-dewing portrait of a near mythical performer who, though near his final curtain, still plays to the crowd as best he can.
