What's New is an album by jazz pianist Bill Evans with flautist Jeremy Steig which was released in 1969 on the Verve label. Actually this is a quartet set with guest flutist Jeremy Steig, whose playing recalls Herbie Mann's recording (Nirvana) with Evans back in the early '60s. Both flutists were always open to the influences of pop and rock although in both of their collaborations with Bill Evans, the music is very much on the pianist's turf. With the exception of Evans' "Time Out for Chris" and the "Spartacus Love Theme," the songs performed on this date would fit securely in the Miles Davis repertoire of the late '50s. Steig is in particularly fine form on the program which includes tunes such as "Straight No Chaser," "Autumn Leaves" and "So What."

When Horace Silver disbanded his quintet of six years in 1964, Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook and Gene Taylor decided to stay together and form the nucleus of the Blue Mitchell Quintet. The band took shape that summer with newcomers Chick Corea and Al Foster. Mitchell has learned wellfrom his former employer; for this debut album he kept the emphasis on consummahe ultra hip groove of the title tune to the now classic "Footprints," this is among the best.

听Chet Baker的音乐要把灯光调低，要有一瓶威士忌陪伴身边，要戴上耳筒；唱片在沙沙走动，你会听见他说，Let"s Get Lost。让我们一起迷失，迷失在幽幽的小喇叭声中，迷失在一个心碎浪漫主义者的浅吟低叹之中。 Chet Baker，一个俊朗迷人的美男子，一个爵士乐历史上的早熟天才。在Bruce Weber为他拍摄的传记电影《让我们一起迷失》中，我们可以看到他的一生。他最早从军队中学到音乐常识，退伍后在Be-bop鼻祖Charlie Parker的乐团中作过短暂的停留，23岁时，和低音色士风手Mulligan一起录下Cool Jazz着名的演奏《我可笑的情人》(My Funny Valentine)，凭此曲一炮而红。这首老曲子在Chet Baker发挥之下重新焕发了生命，它简单而含蓄，几乎是不动声色地，但却深深渗入你的听觉之中。成名后的Chet Baker组成四人爵士乐团走遍美国各地；六十年代后，又只身前往欧洲，把Cool Jazz的精髓加入更多的欧洲和声，令爵士乐在欧洲获得更大的推广。Chet Baker就象是一颗燃烧着的流星，散发着令人不可思议的能量，带着一种致命的速度向神秘不可知的地方冲去。1988年5月13日，有人在阿姆斯特丹发现他堕楼身亡，一代爵士大师就这样撒手尘寰。 电影《让我们一起迷失》在Chet Baker死前三个星期拍完，Chet Baker曾说拍摄过程给他带来了一段难忘的欢乐时光，但他还未来得及看到这部电影就悄然而别了。1990年，这部电影获得奥斯卡金像奖最佳纪录短片提名。 Chet Baker是一个自我主义者。他沉湎在自己的生命与音乐之中，对周遭世界置若罔闻。他的演奏和歌唱都是以自我为中心，就象是一个内敛式的磁场，听者只能被他的音乐吸进去，而他从不迁就听者。他的小喇叭就象一个街头失意的醉汉，在感觉的世界中到处游走，不时迸发出一些即兴的火花，幽暗低回，带着一种令人落泪的宿命感。就象那个失落的年代一样，Chet Baker的音乐迷失在岁月的隧道里，但至今我们仍听得见他醉人的回声。 无论如何，这是一张不能错过的Jazz经典。
