Review
This is in fact Duke Jordan's albums since he wrote
all the songs. Chet Baker is not the leader but a good
tool here so that Jordan's melodic sounds can be amputated
through Chet's strong trumpet playing. Chet's playing
here in particularly strong given his heroin addiction
during these days. "No Problem" starts off
the tone: mellow and graceful - defines Jordan's compositions.
The songs are consistent throughout, though sometimes
appears boring. Jordan's musical phrasing takes time
to mature. The last song "Jealous Blues" ends
the album with a fine finishing touch, showcasing Chet's
humming talents. It is the best song in the whole album.
