Peter Vandendriessche and Jan Muës put their heads together for this special Paul Desmond and Chet Baker project.
Desmond and Baker had their heyday in the cool jazz period and left their mark on many artists worldwide. Saxophonist Paul Desmond became famous with his 'Take 5' in the Dave Brubeck Quartet around 1959. He played with a new sound, different from Parker and Cannonball. … And Chet Baker also started playing differently than his predecessors: the soft and sweet sound of a trumpet like we had never heard before. It was inevitable that these two gentlemen would meet each other and make and record music together.
Peter and Jan hereby pay tribute to their two great examples. Beautiful and well-known melodies alternate with original solo work in a neat arrangement by Jan and Peter.
Mario Vermandel is the bassist, Jan De Haas on drums and Nathan Kerstens on piano strengthen the band.
