Description
Recorded in Italy in 1962, Chet Is Back! showcases the iconic trumpeter cutting loose on such bop-oriented workouts as “Pent-Up House” and “Well, You Needn’t.” Backed skillfully by a young cadre of up-and-coming European musicians, including the stellar saxophonist Bobby Jaspar and guitarist René Thomas, Baker sounds marvelous in both ballads and up-tempo tunes. It includes a stellar Baker version of the immortal “Over the Rainbow”.
