"
Chet On Poetry
is his last record in studio, but indeed it differs from the others and it is one of the best and the most charming one.
Chet
was in a good shape in Rome, in those Winter days, and he had the right partners. First of all you have to listen to him when he reads poetry
." This is how the great Italian critic
Franco Fayenz
introduces this recording in his liner notes.
Chet On Poetry
actually is West Coast's trumpet superstar last studio recording.
Chet On Poetry
is Chet's spiritual testament in music and probably one of his most meaningful records. "
Chet On Poetry
was not only the production of a record, but also a path of experimentation in another field, which was made possible through the profound human connection between myself, Chet, our poet friend
Maurizio Guercini
and later on
Gianluca Manzi
," states
Nicola Stilo
, artistic producer, composer of most of the music, flute and guitar player of this album. From the surreal poetry which introduces
Duke Ellington
's "In A Sentimental Mood" to the bluesy ballad "Almost Blue", which
Elvis Costello
dedicated to Chet and Chet picks up for this last masterpiece, delivers intensity and goes beyond any time criteria. Taken off the original tapes and remastered, this compact disc edition of
Chet On Poetry
, curated by Mono Jazz label, represent an indispensable addition to any serious Chet Baker's discography.
