It’s strange to think that two of the greatest stars of “cool jazz,” Chet Baker and Warne Mash, would never record together, given that they were nearly the same age, and that they both rose to fame in Los Angeles around the same period. However, that would have been the case if Gerry Teekens,
founder of the Criss Cross label, had never had the bright idea of bringing them together in 1984. Surprisingly, they would end up cutting their only collaborative album, Blues for a Reason, in Monster, The Netherlands! 180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL LP – THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 1 BONUS TRACK APPEARING FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER ON VINYL – SPECIAL GATEFOLD EDITION **** AllMusic
