The Improviser


The Improviser is a live album by trumpeter Chet Baker which was recorded in Norway in 1983 and first released on the Cadence Jazz label.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Baker recorded this Cadence LP in Norway, backed by a pair of fine Norwegian trios that in both cases include pianist Per Husby.... Although a little loose in spots, this is an excellent date by the colorful trumpeter".
