The year 1979 found the American trumpet player Chet Baker - with 50 years and a career of almost three decades - playing in Europe as one more exile, joining a long list of jazz musicians as Dexter Gordon, for example, that were employed at the famous Copenhagen's Montmartre Jazzhus.
With the stamp of this club in mind we bring you in this occasion a complete cycle of recordings done by the Chet Baker Trio in Copenhagen; a session album, recorded in June: The Touch of Your Lips, and three live discs recorded in the Jazzhus the night of October 4: Someday My Prince Will Come, Live in Montmartre Vol. 1 'Day Break' and Live in Montmartre Vol. 2 ' This is Always ', all under the label SteepleChase.
In all the formation is the same, a trio without battery - perfect support for the Baker of the ' 70 and ' 80- in the one that could develop his intimate vision of jazz. He is joined by the guitarist Doug Raney and the great bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, for a long time associated with the Danish club in varied recordings and discs.
If on the session album the repertoire consists of standards, in the concert of October 4 they are songs less known, in the whole Chet Baker is in great form and in full domain of his musical habillities also the members of the group are very overlapped by the sonority of the trio and demonstrate a great sensibility to the particular sound of the trumpet player.
In spite of the sad and black reputation that always surrounded this musician and that accompanied him up to the death it is important to remember that if he managed to be inside the major leagues of the jazz it was for something more than his personal legend, these discs are an authentic proof of it.
