The cool factor- who has it?

@mylogic. well played. I had to look that one up.  

Yes i know it and i love this Chris Botti album dedicated to Baker ...

Botti borrowed  something from the master ...

 There is many great trumpet players... The greatest one is Miles Davis...He is Jupiter...

But for me there is only one sun : Louis Armstrong  and only one moon : Chet Baker... No other trumpeter sing as they play except these two ...

@mahgister ”Chet Baker”

Have you heard John Barry’s (score) soundtrack to “Playing by Heart” on Decca?

@waznme 

l loved the “Nollywood” thing. Somethings you just can’t write. The guy was a banker. No wonder he made it big time. What goes round comes around. The record business, the icing on the (cake) turntable.

@mahgister 

l get your point with Miles Davis… Jupiter

“The Bringer of Jollity”

John Barry loved working with Louis, “We have all the time in the world” vocal was recorded just a few days before he died. Only he could sing that song. Can’t imagine anyone else wanting to try to cover it as well.

With regard to the Chris Botti CD, you are talking about the orchestral backing one with John Barry? I think the trumpet mix with the new orchestrated dramatic score is a winning combination. The extra 3 original Chet numbers also add to the flavour.

The bass player, usually.
