Recorded in October 1959, with heroin a caustic presence, In Milan is the first of the albums Chet Baker cut in Europe, revisiting West Coast cool jazz nuggets with drummer Gene Victory and a set of local players, including bassist Franco Serri and pianist Renato Sellani, bolstered by saxophonists Glauco Masetti and Gianno Basso on select tracks. Bop favorites such as Charlie Parker & Miles Davis' "Cheryl" and Davis' "Tune Up" are handled with care, and there's a fine take of "Line For Lyons," which Baker first recorded as a member of Gerry Mulligan's Quartet, with a great solo by Serri. It's Baker at his best -- thoroughly excellent! Printed on clear vinyl.
