Ballads for Two is an album by trumpeter Chet Baker and vibraphonist Wolfgang Lackerschmid which was recorded in 1979 and first released on Lackerschmid's Sandra Music Productions label.
[1][2] The Allmusic review by Bob Rusch states "This was a record not so much of rhythm as of tonal coloring, pitch and reverberation.
This was also an avant-garde Chet Baker, without gimmicks, just meeting an interest to expand and further develop: to invent, expand, create.
Wolfgang Lackerschmid played vibes in a manner owing itself more to Red Norvo and Gary Burton than Milt Jackson, and proved himself to be a creator and artist in his ebb and flow with the trumpeter.
