Album Notes & Community Reviews
Highlighting his remarkably fertile partnership with pianist Russ Freeman, this release solidifies Chet Baker's status as a preeminent instrumental voice of the West Coast movement. The incredibly tight ensemble playing provides an intricate, swinging framework that perfectly offsets the trumpeter's melancholic, linear phrasing. It stands as a defining example of the cerebral, slightly subdued California jazz aesthetic.
