Description
Downbeat: A mega-production without equal. The hard grind for this exceptional double album has in every respect extremely fresh interpretations and solo contributions. Jazz Times: This is an astonishing extended album. Fay Claassen dominates the entirety of this release. Claassen replaces Baker's trumpet revealing her amazing skill at phrasing. This album brought Fay worldwide eurphoric reviews, as well as the first âChet Baker Award,â a first place in the âAll About Jazzâ critics poll in New York, the âChocâ from the French magazine âJazzmanâ and finally in 2013 her first gold record in the Netherlands. She has, up to this point, published five albums under her own name. As a guest soloist, she can be heard on fifteen additional releases.
