Chet Baker & Bill Evans — Alone Together
Limited Edition 180-Gram Audiophile Vinyl
Forever on the cutting edge of jazz, trumpeter Chet Baker and pianist Bill Evans crafted Alone Together as a cool, bluesy gem on December 28, 1958. It was released a month later to much acclaim and popular approval. Yet, jazz historians really note this album for being a true precursor to Miles Davis’ Kind Of Blue. Alone Together didn’t quite catch fire like Kind Of Blue, which was released just seven months later, but it was a great warm up for Evans. Evans actually composed part of and played on Davis’ Kind Of Blue. This release contains the complete original 1959 album plus one bonus track.
