Omschrijving

Chesney (Chet) Henry Baker, Jr. (Yale, Oklahoma, 23 december 1929 – Amsterdam, 13 mei 1988) 
was een Amerikaans trompettist en zanger.

Baker werd in 1929 geboren als zoon van Ierse ouders in het plaatsje Yale in Oklahoma. 
Hij ontwikkelde zich tot jazztrompettist en zoetgevooisde zanger. 
Baker heeft als kenmerk de zachte melancholieke toon 
die hij in zijn zang en spel op dezelfde manier gebruikt: 
"hij zingt zoals hij speelt". (Bron: Wikipedia)

Chet Baker's penultimate session for Riverside -- which was strictly instrumental -- produced an all-star lineup to support him, including jazz heavyweights Pepper Adams, Bill Evans, and Kenny Burrell. Each of them makes important contributions to the session. Adams' baritone sax solo on "Alone Together" is one of the album's high points, while Herbie Mann and Bill Evans make their presence known on several cuts. Baker possessed one of the most melodious trumpets in jazz, compelling in its simplicity. Rarely extending his range above a single octave, he nonetheless had few peers when it came to slow, romantic ballads, which make up the playlist here. His characteristically soft approach is heard to good effect on "It Never Entered My Mind," where he works with the guitar of Kenny Burrell. Burrell and Baker also collaborate on a moving rendition of "September Song". Chet is a good place to hear Baker's special way with the horn, and is made even more attractive with the presence and contributions of top jazz artists. (AllMusic Review by Dave Nathan)
