He had a long and complicated relationship with Italy, a country where he was incarcerated for drug offensives, but also adored by a myriad of unconditional Italian fans, musicians, and producers who idolised him and recorded him extensively at every opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe musicians accompanying Chet Baker on Septet \u0026amp; Quartet were among the very best of the Italian jazz scene of the time - Glauco Masetti on alto sax, Gianni Basso on tenor sax, Renato Sellani on piano, Franco Cerri on double bass, together with the Italian-American Gene Victory on drums. The arrangements were entrusted to Giulio Libano , who provided ample space for all to solo. Chet Baker is undoubtedly the protagonist, but a lot of freedom of expression is granted to his fellow adventurers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a programme of five jazz standards such as 'Tune Up' by Miles Davis, 'Pent-Up House' by Sonny Rollins, along with four popular standards including the added closing bonus track 'My Funny Valentine' with Chet Baker providing the vocal on an otherwise all instrumental LP.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WAXTIME","offers":[{"title":"Complete LP Bonus Track Limited Edition 180-Gram Audiophile Pressing","offer_id":58776226922760,"sku":"REL-07350","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.relevantrecordcafe.co.uk\/products\/chet-baker-sextet-and-quartet-milan","provider":"Relevant Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
