专辑介绍
by Jonathan Widran
In his 1996 review of the indie film Caught, movie critic Rex Reed paid the ultimate compliment to trumpeter Chris Botti -- who wrote the score and whose horn graced the soundtrack -- by comparing the young upstart's smoky style to that of a young Chet Baker. Botti has since gone on to great success in smooth jazz by combining a laid-back demeanor with attitude-filled grooves and picture-perfect melodies. Legendary composer John Barry -- whose resumé runs from Born Free to Dances With Wolves and, more jazzily, Body Heat -- loved director Willard Carroll's idea of lacing the soundtrack to the thought-provoking, multi-generational relationship film Playing by Heart with a handful of 1956 Baker quartet originals. Botti was an obvious choice when Barry chose to extend that vibe into the orchestral score, and the haunting album cover -- featuring a pensive Barry between Botti and a young Baker, both holding their horns, over a black background -- perfectly epitomizes the passing of the generational torch. The opening tune &Remembering Chet& captures the essence of the whole album; Botti's balmy trumpet sound wafts over Lee Musiker's elegant piano meditation as the orchestra breezes in and out of the background. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of rhythmic variation as the tracks progress. The classic, smooth, delicately bittersweet tones of Baker (on &Tenderly,& &You Go to My Head,& and &These Foolish Things& are interspersed between the Botti tunes, which creates a unique flow and shows a delicate contrast between the Baker's low tone and Botti's slightly higher pitch. Arranged this way, it's almost like listening to a one-of-a-kind lesson between legendary mentor and a student primed to carry on his legacy.

- @yzsgmx：so good
- @BlueEyesBlue(blue eyes bl...)：memories for Chet
- @爸爸和妈妈(zepw)：用心去追忆一个人，然后把这种心情表达出来，是最最不容易的，因为在录音的时候也要把这种情感带在身上。我听了一遍，立刻上网，下单，我觉得这才是走心的音乐，这才是能拿出来给人听的东西！
- @白流苏：无意间进来了，看到了那个小号的名字，也许多年前就听过他，10多年前吧。
- @倒影：淡淡的忧伤
- @尚涨(其他音乐平台用户名依旧叫...)：这些 男人
- @天天天蓝：一直在找这张专辑，只记得有Chet Baker的名字。但这专辑没收在Chet Baker那边，今天居然在虾米推荐的音乐里碰着了，真是神奇。 听的全是回忆。
- @宁静致远(东拉西扯)：还没来得及听，试试看
- @宜轩：很多年依旧在脑海的曲子，难以忘怀。
- @耳机小Q(来自第九区)：代表冷色调和暖色调的两把小号足以让你感受别样的暮色晨昏。
