Young, who met Baker in Chicago in 1981, shared a personal and musical friendship with the singing trumpet master, which lasted until Baker's untimely death in 1988. I Remember Chet is Young's spoken, sung and played tribute to Baker, with whom he produced the album "Chet in Chicago." According to Young, the show will be "a romantic and nostalgic look back at Baker's life and legacy." The group will perform songs from some of Chet's most admired recordings, including many of his favorite standards from the Great American Songbook, including "My Funny Valentine," "Old Devil Moon," "How Deep is the Ocean" and more.
Young is currently based in Los Angeles, playing piano at top-shelf venues such as The Pilsner Room, The Aldabella Winery, The Port, Cook's Chapel, and the world-famous Lighthouse Café. Downbeat magazine's Scott Yanow has called Young "An innovative arranger..an adventurous, hard swinging soloist, and a sensitive accompanist."
