**********

Harold Danko is a talented pianist who deserves wider recognition than hes
received during his long career. This moving solo CD is his tribute to Chet
Baker, with whom he played for a number of years. There are a number of
surprises, including two of Tadd Damerons lesser-known but brilliant
compositions; Whatever Possessed Me is bittersweet without excessive sentiment
in Dankos hands, while Gnid is gently swinging bop. Another obscure work is Phil
Ursos Way to Go, which Danko turns inside out with a driving improvisation. Of
course, there are lots of standards as well; particular standouts include some
richly textured arrangements of Gone With the Wind and The Touch of Your Lips,
and the stunning finale of This Is Always. If Chet Baker had lived to hear this
tribute, he would have been very pleased with his old sideman.
