{"product_id":"chet-baker-shine-2lp","title":"Chet Baker - Shine [2LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eShine captures Chet Baker live in Ferrara in 1987, an archival concert presented as a 180 gram double LP in a gatefold jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the late 1980s Baker was a weathered, haunted figure, but his playing had taken on a hushed, intimate beauty that many listeners treasure above his West Coast heyday. This performance at the Teatro Estense came less than a year before his death in 1988 and finds him in deeply expressive form, leading a sympathetic quartet with Nicola Stilo on flute and guitar, Michel Graillier on piano and Rocky Knauer on bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set leans into ballads and standards, Baker moving between trumpet and that soft, unmistakable voice. \"Almost Blue\" is a highlight, its slow, smoky melancholy perfectly suited to his late style, while \"I'm a Fool to Want You\" aches with fragile tenderness. \"But Not for Me\" brings a lighter, gently swinging touch, and \"Night Bird\" opens the evening in a graceful, floating mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStilo's flute adds an airy, lyrical counterpoint that makes this lineup feel distinct from many of Baker's other late-period bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a moving document of a great musician with nothing left to prove, and a beautiful addition to any collection built for late nights and low lights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57326683750705,"sku":"8054154650729","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Chet_Baker-Shine_2LP.jpg?v=1793877741","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/chet-baker-shine-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
