I'd definitely avoid the stuff he recorded during the twilight of his life. I forgot which CDs those were since I've long tossed them in the closet somewhere. But, I recall his horn playing was distressed even during calm passages while his vocals were interupted with saliva swallowing and audible yammy tongue movements. Not desireable coming from an old guy. However, I love "Lets Get Lost" and some of his earlier works. The self-titled recently remastered "Chet" has some great horns.
Did anyone get the "The Italian Sessions"? I'd like to hear some reviews.
