5.0 out of 5 stars
Great performance!,
By "44488" (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legacy 1 (Audio CD)
Chet infuses warmth & glowing melodic phrases throughout this concert, on his flugelhorn. His gift of making his instrument tastefully sing to reach your heart, is hard to beat. At times he sounds a bit winded, but the NDR Big Band backs him up nicely. Great arrangements and performance by the band & Mr. Baker!

One of three the best!,
By Piotr Stanislawski (Poland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legacy 1 (Audio CD)
This CD is one of three the best Chet's last rerordings - including "The Last Great Concert"-2CD and "Chet Baker In Tokyo"-2CD. A truly masterpiece! I have about 20 recordings of Chet and these one with the beautifuly sounded German DNR Big Band is the most wonderful! A pure jazz!

Chet Baker with NDR Big Band,
By DAVID HALL (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Legacy 1 (Audio CD)
I think that at the end of his career, Chet Baker played with such distilled economy and sparseness, that for me there was almost a spititual, silent stillness that seemed to imbue the music he played. I think its true even of his vocals. Its a quality I particularly love about the music he created at that time. Was hoping Legacy 1 had this quality at the center of it. It does - on the very last cut of this album: All Blues. And I prefer Mr. Baker's version of this tune to even Miles Davis on Kind of blue. Chet Baker and the NDR Big Band play wonderfully together, and most of the rest of this album swings. It a bit busy, musically, for me. Wish there were more of the quiet, intimate, subtlety of All Blues. I think Chet Baker was at his best with small combos, for example Embraceable You, in which his trumpet and vocals are accompanied by simply guitar and bass. If you like big band and, of course, Chet Baker, I think you'll enjoy this album.
