• In his dual role as a trumpeter and as a singer, Chet Baker was one of the undisputed masters of the jazz ballad, able to reach climaxes of intense feeling and intimacy.

• This CD compiles some of his best performances of the genre, which were all studio recordings featuring excellent sound quality.

• Among the highlights are “My Funny Valentine”, a song Baker made into a classic, “Deep in a Dream”, “Alone Together”, and Billy Strayhorn’s celebrated “Lush Life”, which Baker never recorded again in the studio.

• Baker was accompanied here by other jazz giants such as Bill Evans, Pepper Adams, Kenny Burrell, Kenny Drew, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones.

• Only studio recordings - with excellent sound quality - including 12-page booklets with English and French liner notes.
