Totally agree with Charles 1 on his assessment of "Chet". I bought a vinyl copy a week ago and cannot get over how beautiful the trumpet sounds. It is as if Baker is somehow still breathing into his horn after he releases a note. Every phrase from his trumpet lofts into the air and suspends there as its meaning grows in relation to the previous phrase and the phrase he is about to play. Pepper Adams Bari sax is the perfect foil to Baker. The engineer added some reverb or perhaps the room they recorded in had a natural reverb. This adds to the richness.

An early must have is the Pacific Jazz Records two CD set of Gerry Mulligan Quartet. 42 tunes. Mulligan and Baker weave in and out of each other's musical space in a pleasing Bachian display of improvised counterpoint.

Jetrepro,
I believe you and Fortapache would really appreciate Gerry Mulligan's "Night Lights". Beautiful playing and recorded well. It features Art Farmer and Jim Hall among others. They're in the room with you.
Charles,

Charles 1,

I listened to "Night Lights" on line. Very nice. Will put it on my list. I don't have much Art Farmer.

Do any of you happen to know whether you can roll a Sophia Electric Aqua 274B in the A-011? I've run them in other amps that wouldn't permit a standard 274B. They sound great and would love to try one of them in my Yamamoto.
