On this 1959 release Chet Baker and company perform intimate renditions of such memorable tunes as "I Could Have Danced all Night," from My Fair Lady, and "Almost Like Being in Love," from Brigadoon. Perhaps the most endearing selection on the album is the haunting ballad, "I Talk to the Trees," from Paint Your Wagon, which features a melancholy solo from Baker, and a soft-spoken but gritty tenor solo by the great Zoot Sims.



"Show Me" (also from My Fair Lady), is marked by the sparse yet melodic jabs of the great pianist Bill Evans. Baker himself improvises in an uncharacteristically outspoken manner on this track, and Herbie Mann and Zoot Sims both perform blazing solos on flute and alto sax respectively. Teen drummer Clifford Jarvis shines on all eight tracks, playing with the maturity of one more than twice his age. On this downbeat set, Baker and troupe add charm, even potency, to these Lerner and Loewe chestnuts.







Grabación no típica de Chet Baker, este maravilloso cd contiene algunas de las mejores canciones de amor versioneadas en un perfecto estilo jazístico.

El brillante grupo que aquí acompaña ya es mencionado anteriormente por los críticos por lo que yo aquí añadiré que la mezcla de generaciones y estilos es perfecta para estos clásicos y excelentes temas de Lerner y Loewe.

Mi favorita es el tema entrante.



Mr. Baker se iguala aquí generosamente interpretando versiones de jazz de temas bien conocidos de temas de Broadway. El punto culminante es la version de ocho minutos On the Street You Live que permite a Chet extenderse en su interpretación.

Otra excelente interpretación es I've grown accustomed to her Face, la cual adquiere buen ritmo y además posee una gran acústica. Excelente música con una gran interpretación de trompeta.
