\"\"<\/a>The extracurricular, non-Rifftides<\/em>”\u00a0assignment that I mentioned in the February 2nd post is done, barring revisions. As mentioned, it involves notes for a CD box set of everything that trumpeter and singer Chet Baker recorded for Riverside Records in the late 1950s. Baker\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Riverside association was packed with problems for him and for producer Orrin Keepnews, but it brought him together with a dozen or so of the finest jazz musicians of the era. Among them are Bill Evans, Philly Joe Jones, Al Haig, Paul Chambers, Kenny Drew and Zoot Sims. The box will include several alternate takes and outtakes.<\/p>\n

If the artists\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 names above pique your interest, allow me to pique it further with a couple of samples that have shown up on the web.<\/p>\n
