MILDRED BAILEY ASV CDAJA 5065 Harlem Lullaby ● CD $11.98

20 tracks, 1931-38 with Red Norvo, Benny Goodman, Coleman Hawkins and others

MILDRED BAILEY The Old Masters TOM 103 Volume 1 - Sweet Beginnings ● CD $13.98

MILDRED BAILEY The Old Masters TOM 104 Volume 2 - Band Vocalist ● CD $13.98

22 Tracks, 73 min. good Bailey had a pleasing voice and a swinging sense of both rhythm and phrasing which allowed her to take on a great emotional range of songs. She could sound sexy, contrite or virtuous and could certainly sing the blues (check her out fronting Benny goodman on the two takes of Junk Man). Bailey is also heard here with Paul Whiteman (her brother was in his vocal trio) and the Dorsey Brothers. Highlights include Love Me Tonight/ I'll Never Be The Same/ Snowball/ Rocking Chair/ Heatwave. My favorite, however, is Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Love. Interesting. (PL)

MILDRED BAILEY & ELLIS LARKINS Baldwin Street 306 The Blue Angel Years ● CD $15.98

22 track collection featuring Bailey performing with The Ellis Larkins Trio. Includes bonus tracks with Red NOrvo.

PEARL BAILEY Columbia CK 47082 16 Most Requested Songs ● CD $11.98

16 sides recorded for Columbia in 1945, backed by small combos. Bailey's sharp vocals cut like a knife through these mostly uptempo numbers - St. Louis Blues/ Who/ Don't Ever Leave Me/ Ain't She Sweet/ Frankie And Johnny. But the beauty of her voice is evident in the ballads Tired/ Personality/ Here You Come With Your Love. Some hot horn solos by Billy Butterfield. A nice collection, 48 minutes of top-notch vocal jazz. (PG)

CHET BAKER Emarcy 838 204-2 Baker's Holiday ● CD $10.98

CD reissue of this long unavailable collector's item - Chet sings and plays 10 selections made popular by Billie Holiday! Includes Easy Living/Crazy She Calls Me/Mean To Me/These Foolish Things/Don't Explain.

CHET BAKER Enja 79600-2 My Favorite Songs - The Last Great Concert ● CD $12.98

CHET BAKER Evidence 22158 Chet Baker In Tokyo ● CD $29.98

2 Discs, 11 tracks, 1 hour 56 min, recommended A re-release of Paddle Wheel 6270 and 6281, this excellent 2-CD set was recorded live in Japan in June 1987. As famous for his reputation and looks as he was for his playing, the trumpeter is heard here fronting a quartet consisting of Harold Danko (piano) Hein Van Der Geyn (bass) and John Engels (drums). Some real fine stuff shows up on both discs. Baker's trumpet playing is pleasing throughout, deft, sure-footed and deeply emotive. Running through his ballads and blues, Chet leads the band in impressive versions of Stella By Starlight, Elvis Costello's Almost Blue, My Funny Valentine, Seven Steps To Heaven and Broken Wing. Danko shines on For Minors Only and check out Van Der Geyn on Portrait in Black and White! Though he would be dead within a year, Baker's horn was strong and self-assured at this show. Perfect late-night jazz. (PL)

CHET BAKER Original Jazz Classics 087 Chet ● CD $12.98

CHET BAKER Original Jazz Classics 137 Chet Baker Plays The Best Of Lerner & Lowe ● CD $12.98

One of Chet's best Riverside LPs, originally Riverside 12-307/1152 from 1959. Includes 4 from "My Fair Lady" - I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face/ I Could Have Danced All Night/ On the Street Where You Live/ Show Me + 2 from "Brigadoon" & 1 each from "Gigi" & "Paint Your Wagon."

CHET BAKER Original Jazz Classics 207 Chet Baker In New York ● CD $12.98

Reissue of Riverside 1119 from 1959. Cool West Coast Trumpeter Baker on the East Coast in Sept. '58 teaming up with a fine rhythm section of Al Haig(p), Paul Chambers(b) & Philly Joe Jones(d) on Miles Davis' Solar + 2 standards, then adding tenorman Johnny Griffin on long versions of Fair Weather/ Hotel 49/ Blue Thoughts . (GM)

'58 sessions had Kenny Drew on piano with the rhythm completed by the combinations of Sam & Philly Joe Jones, Sam Jones & Mingus' long time drummer Dannie Richmond, and George Morrow & Philly Joe. 10 standards, light on the trumpet. Title tune + That Old Devil Moon/ The More I See You/ How Long Has This Been Going On , etc. (GM)

CHET BAKER RCA 68590 The Italian Sessions ● CD $13.98

The Chet Baker revival continues with the issue of this fine LP. In the wake of Chet's tragic death and renewed interest in his life and work due to Bruce Weber's acclaimed film "Let's Get Lost," there's no doubt we haven't seen the end of it either. This album should be one of the bright spots though, a formidable set recorded by RCA in Italy in 1962 with Bobby Jaspar on tenor sax and flute, Rene Thomas on guitar and the rhythm section handled ably by a trio of Italians. These Foolish Things/ Barbados/ Pent-Up House/ Star Eyes , etc. (AE)
