{"product_id":"chet-baker-two-a-day","title":"Chet Baker - Two a Day","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecorded in France in the final days of 1978, Two a Day finds Chet Baker in a reflective late-career mood, now back on vinyl in a limited edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe session took place at the Château d'Hérouville, the celebrated residential studio outside Paris, with Baker backed by a sympathetic trio of Phil Markowitz on piano, Jean-Louis Rassinfosse on bass and Jeff Brillinger on drums. The album first appeared in 1980 and had been out of print on vinyl ever since, so this reissue marks a welcome return for one of the quieter gems of his European years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith just five tracks across two sides, the band takes its time. The title track opens with a relaxed, conversational feel, and Blue Room gives Baker's trumpet space to unfurl its soft, burnished tone. Standards such as If I Should Lose You and This Is Always let him explore the lyrical side of his playing, with Markowitz offering gentle, harmonically rich support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy this point Baker's sound had grown more fragile and intimate, and that vulnerability sits at the heart of these performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor collectors tracing his late-1970s output, this is a rewarding find, and its unhurried, small-hours atmosphere is ideally suited to vinyl. Dim the lights, pour something slow and let the quartet do the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67761830330658,"sku":"3760434481819","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Chet_Baker-Two_a_Day.jpg?v=1794309809","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/chet-baker-two-a-day","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
