'A Sip Of Your Touch' and 'My Chet My Song'! 25 years have passed between these two albums, inspired by the great trumpeter Chet Baker whom Riccardo Del Fra has accompanied for nearly nine years. A musical and existential adventure that has marked his life as a musician. 'A Sip Of Your Touch', directed in 1989, was dedicated to Chet, who died the year before. A quarter of a century later, 'My Chet My Song' is a renewed tribute to Chet, but in the light of what Riccardo Del Fra, the composer, has become. Far from the exercise of style, he combines standards he loves with original compositions. The magnificent orchestra of the Babelsberg Studios brilliantly and elegantly plays the music of Riccardo Del Fra with his quintet. From the intimacy of the duo to the symphonic orchestration, these two albums are the pages of a personal book that can be read - and heard - in the right place and in reverse: 'Chet Visions'.
