I never connected with those recordings. I think Mehldau was the problem.

Chet Baker "Indian Summer: The Complete 1955 Concerts in Holland" (featuring Dick Twardzik)

How is this one? Was Chet in good form? Is the sound quality good?

[duaneiac]

A large image, but I'm guessing many of you won't mind:

Disc 1 of 2.  Recordings from 2012 to 2015 in settings from Amsterdam to Zurich.

It's hard nowadays to know what label released a CD.  This one says, "The Copyright in this sound recording is owned by Melody Gardot, under exclusive license to Decca, a division of Universal Music Operations Limited.  Manufactured and marketed by Verve Label Group, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc."  So it a Decca release?  a Verve release?  Both companies logos appear on the cover.

The music is okay.  No radical reworkings of any of her songs.  Most often thye just feel more intimate in these settings.

That yes and yes are good to know. it's one of the Dutch archive releases I've no gone for. Some has quite dusty sources, mastering seems excellent but original recordings weren't up to Scandinavian/German standards of that period. Having said that probably all streets ahead of any British broadcasts from the mid 50s
