a CHET BAKER SOLOS VOLUME 2ORDER ¢ 01106 Za.ABOUT THE MUSIC Chet Baker was, without a doubt, one of the most instinctively melodic improvisers in the history of jazz. Countless musicians have been inspired and amazed by his ability to create such powerful music through relatively modest means. His choice of notes was impeccable, his phrasing always fresh and unpredictable and his intimate, lyrical style of playing still serves as an excellent model for all aspiring, jazz musicians and truly epitomizes the phrase “less is more”. This book contains eleven transcriptions from three albums that Chet recorded on the SteepleChase label from the late seventies through the mid-cighties. Two of the albums, “Daybreak” and “Someday My Prince Will Come”, are part of a wonderful set of live recordings done in Montmartre in 1979 and feature Chet along with Doug Raney and Niels-Henning @rsted Pedersen. The transcriptions contained in this book from these albums ~ Gnid, Love Vibrations, and You Can't Go Home ~ are all previously unissued tracks that are presently included In the CD formats. Transcriptions of the originally Issued tracks are available in an earlier book of Chet Baker solos published by Advance Music. The other transcriptions In this book all come from a duo album featuring Chet Baker and Paul Bley entitled “Diane”. This recording finds both Chet and Paul Bley adapting their styles to one another to create some beautifully unpretentious music. Throughout each of these transcriptions, markings have been frequently and carefully placed in order to reflect Chet's varied phrasing and articulations. When combined with thorough study of the record- ings, examination of these markings will hopefully be helpful in getting at the heart of Chet’s personal sound. In the three solos from the trio recordings, the chord symbols provided are generally the same for each chorus, reflecting the basic changes for the tune. In the solos from the duo recording, the chord symbols vary from chorus to chorus in an effort to reflect the specific substitutions and color- ations that Paul Bley used. | feel that since Chet’s musical choices (on this recording in particular) relied heavily on the sounds he was hearing around him, the study of those specific sounds and Chet’s re- actions to them can greatly increase our understanding of the music. Chet Baker is certainly a musician worthy of serious study, and the music represented In these trans- criptions holds valuable insight for jazz musicians, regardless of instrument or ability. | hope that studying and playing this music bring you as much enjoyment as it has brought me.
