Chet Baker – Chet - (Deep Purple LP Vinyl)

Baker recorded *Chet* during one of the most creatively fertile periods in hard bop history, and the ensemble he assembled reads like a who's who of the Blue Note and Riverside scene. Bill Evans brings his signature harmonic sophistication to a session that showcases Baker's famously vulnerable trumpet tone and understated phrasing, a combination that still sounds unlike anything else from that era.
