Both as a trumpeter and as a singer, Chet Baker was one of the most romantic jazz performers of all time, able to reach climaxes of intense feeling and intimacy. This 57-track, 3-CD set compiles some of his best performances, all of them studio recordings with excellent sound quality. Among the highlights are three different readings of "My Funny Valentine" (a song Baker made into a classic), "Alone Together", and Billy Strayhorn's celebrated "Lush Life". Baker is accompanied here by other jazz giants such as Bill Evans, Russ Freeman, Gerry Mulligan, Pepper Adams, Kenny Burrell, Kenny Drew, Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones.
