Description:
This CD contains Chet Baker's complete May 9, 1954 Ann Arbor concert, plus five outstanding bonus tracks from the trumpeter's celebrated Tiffany Club performance in Los Angeles, on August 10, 1954. Recorded at the Masonic Temple, Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 9, 1954; Recorded at The Tiffany Club, Los Angeles, August 10, 1954. Baker's first national tour would begin in the spring of 1954 and continue for nearly four months, with stops at all the most important jazz venues. The May 9 concert was organized by local jazz promoter and D.J. Ollie McLaughlin and took place at the Masonic Temple in downtown Ann Arbor. Baker is in good form here, both musically and emotionally. His song introductions and brief banter with the crowd is light –at times producing laughter from the crowd and provides stark contrast to the down trodden, distrustful and taciturn moods of his later years. Includes 12 page comprehensive booklet!
