Liner Note Authors: Gerry Mulligan; Carroll Baker. Recording information: Audimax, Hamburg, Germany (11/14/1987). Photographer: Chet Baker. This concert of jazz standards was broadcast on November 14th, 1987 from Hamburg's Audimax Theater and was never intended for release. THE LEGACY VOL. 1 finds the mature Baker in top form, backed by the 18-piece NDR Big Band (a host for Germany's best jazz sidemen). Baker's playing seems very relaxed in the big band setting. The arrangements are cool and leave plenty of room for Baker's sublime trumpeting. His mature trumpet playing is clear, sweetly lyrical, instinctively rhythmic, spacey, and emotionally charged. High points include a cool and swinging version of Cole Porter's "All Of You" and Miles Davis' "All Blues," both which clearly showcases Davis' musical influence on Baker.
