Live Italian gig with Chet sounding great. An intimate setting with long tunes, flawless solos and decent recording quality. Easily one of Chet's best recordings from 1985. The long tunes never tire on the listener, as each of Chet's solos offer (pleasant) surprise after surprise. Grailler (piano) and Moriconi (bass) contribute some great solos, but that night belonged to Chet. Highlights include a sad, pretty "Polka Dots", followed by the dreamy "Estate". That song was always a great fit for Chet, with that lovely low note that starts the melody. It's like it was written just for him. On a bluesy "Valentine", Chet plays a powerful solo, hitting some powerful high notes before closing the tune with his whispering vocals.
Disc 1 includes a second "Polka Dots And Moonbeams" rehearsal session with Chet giving instructions. Also, three tracks from a third set. These are all long tracks with each player given plenty of room for personal expression.
