Title: Chet Baker – Baker’s Holiday (1965) [Verve’s Reissue 2004]
Genre: Jazz
Format: SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Baker’s Holiday finds Chet Baker effectively paying tribute to Billie Holiday with mellow trumpet solos and occasional vocals. Baker is backed by a full sax section and a four-piece rhythm section that includes pianist Hank Jones; Jimmy Mundy contributed the colorful arrangements. His performance of ten songs associated with Lady Day (most of which he had not recorded previously) is often exquisite.
