Buy Now	Playing by Heart (1998 Film) (more) »rank: 105992 from: Decca : :In a 1996 review of the indie film Caught, movie critic Rex Reed paid the ultimate compliment to trumpeter Chris Botti, (who wrote the score and whose horn graced the soundtrack), comparing the young upstart's smoky style to that of a young Chet Baker. Botti has since gone on to great success in smooth jazz by combining a laid-back demeanor with attitude-filled grooves and picture-perfect melodies. Enter legendary composer John Barry--whose resume runs from Born Free to Dances with Wolves and, more jazzily, Body Heat. He loved director Willard Carroll's idea of lacing the soundtrack to Playing by Heart with a handful of ...

Buy Now	CHET BAKER LIVE AT RONNIE SCOTT'S (more) »rank: 44866 starring: Chet Baker :Description:Chet Baker ploughs a uniquely invidivual furrow in the field of jazz. His trumpet playing is beautifully delicate and takes standard ballards into hitherto unexplored emotional territories. Here Chet is accompanied by Michel Grailler on piano and Riccardo del Fra on bass. Two of Chet's admirers also guest here: Van Morrison performs 'Send in the Clowns,' and Elvis Costello sings a medley including 'The Very Thought of You,' 'You Don't Know What Love Is' and 'I'm a Fool to Want You.' :In the early 1950s, trumpeter-vocalist Chet Baker was the 'James Dean of jazz.'

Buy Now	Live in Australia, 1959 (more) »rank: 18574 by: Frank Sinatra : :Unreleased until 1997, these tapes were recorded during two stops on Sinatra's brief Australian tour of 1959, during which he was backed by the quintet of jazz vibraphonist Red Norvo.

Though a product of the big-band tradition, Evans was never limited by sectional voicings and riffs. He had an interest in unusual instrumentation and a talent for creating subtle mixes of distinct voices, adding French horns, oboe, bassoon, and harp to the conventional big band and ...
