One of
Chet Baker's most classic albums of the 50s – a record that features both vocals and strong trumpet solos – all from a time when
Baker was one of the hottest things going in jazz! The album's different from records from previous years, in that it moves
Baker from LA to New York – where he works with a great quartet that features Kenny Drew on piano, George Morrow or Sam Jones on bass, and Philly Joe Jones or Danny Richmond on drums – all players who have a slightly different approach than some of
Baker's compatriots on Pacific Jazz sessions, which also seems to bring out a bit more bite in
Chet too. Tracks are still shortish, with those breathy
Baker vocals we love so much, balanced with really well-crafted trumpet solos – and titles include "It Could Happen To You", "Do It The Hard Way", "Old Devil Moon", "Dancing On The Ceiling", and "The More I See You". CD features 2 bonus tracks!
