Chet Baker - Jazz Moods - Cool
Chet Baker plays the trumpet, and his first two songs start out very slow. His third song, "Autumn Leaves," which I have repetitions of running through my head from playing it in class many a times, has a very swingy feel to it with the electric keyboard in the background. The trumpet solo during it sounds alot like the improvisations from class. "Concierto De Aranjuez" is a 20 minute long song that goes in and out of grooves, staying mostly on the same beat, and letting each instrument on the album have their turn improvising. From the name of the CD, I thought it would be more in a sense of "hip" cool, but I get the feeling that it's more of a cold calm soothing "cool". It was a good CD, but nothing that really blew me away.
