Tenor saxophonist Dan St. Marseille's debut as a leader is a tribute to Chet Baker. Marseille has a soft tone that works well with his swinging style, and his rhythm section (pianist Cecilia Coleman, bassist Ernie Nunez and drummer Denny Dennis) is excellent, but it is trumpeter Larry Gillespie (who takes vocals that sound eerily close to Baker, certainly an acquired taste) who is most responsible for the project's success. With only a couple of exceptions (most notably the leader's "Phillippe Sleep"), the music is largely from Baker's repertoire, including a 91/2-minute, six-tune medley. Altoist Gary Foster sits in quite effectively on an "April Medley" comprised of "I'll Remember April" and Lennie Tristano's "April." ~ Scott Yanow
