Album Description
LP features a bonus track, "Moment's Notice," not found on the CD and making this special LP version a new collector's item. A very strong candidate for jazz album of the year! This 1986 recording, a studio session that has never been released, was Chet Baker's last studio session before leaving for Europe. Twenty years after Baker's untimely death in Amsterdam, the release of this long-forgotten studio recording serves as a worthy tribute to one of the great, unmistakable improvisers in jazz.

Discovery of a treasure ! October 28, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
What a surprise! 20 years after Chet Baker's tragic and mysterious death, ENJA Records issued an unreleased studio recording,cut in May 1986 and which reveals the genious, cool trumpet player at his best.
Out of my more than 100 C.B. recordings this is one of my favourite albums.
Even that Chet Baker did not play with Bradley Young and his buddies before,you can hear how cool and relaxed he felt with these young musicians: his trumpet playing and singing are very subtile and pure.
The repertoire is well chosen indeed: from the classics like 'Old Devil Moon' and 'My funny Valentine' (no 'versatile' tones in this version) to the 2 Miles Davis compositions 'Sippin' at bells' and 'Solar'.
The ENJA engineers produced -like always- a very clear,direct and most pleasant sound.
You can play this album as background music at a dinner with friends as well as enjoying it quietly and alone at home with a glass of bordeaux (and a cigar...?).
Caution : be prepared to tears in your eyes!
The sound of this music is never intrusive and might stimulate any newcomer jazz friend to discover more music from the cool jazz era.
Only negative point : Apparently ENJA decided to include a bonus track on the LP only!? It might be worth though to undust your good old vinyl record player...
