Chet Baker's work is legendary and the arrival of this previously unreleased live set, recorded at Palermo's Brass Club in 1976, is a real delight for his fans. Here, Baker's marvelous trumpet revelry is matched by the rest of his dynamite Quartet, this time featuring the esteemed composer and vibraphonist Enzo Randisi on piano (his only collaboration with Baker), Vito Tommaso's brother Giovanni making full use of the fretboard on melodic stand-up bass, and Gianni Cavallaro taking an unusual approach with the drums. Their keen musicianship helps spur Baker to squeeze the best from his horn, and there's a rare take of the ballad "I Can't Get Started" too, making this a must-have for all serious Chet devotees.
