That superb 1979 club date with long, long tracks, Chet with Phil Markowitz who is very inside the music, the legendary Jean Rassinfosse on bass, and Charlie Rice on drums, which is quite unusual, since I never saw Chet with a drummer. I saw him in 1979 , 1980 (Jazz Spring in Vienna),, a scheduled 1983 encounter with Joe Farrell, where Chet didn´t make it as so often, and the last time at the end of 1987 (even then, so late in his career and with all that erratic live and we being prepared for another chancelled concert, he was punctual, very articulate and played the stars from heaven.

Peter Friedman Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 A terrific CD. Al Haig grabbed my attention with a really marvelous solo on the tune "Cheryl". Quote
