Review
This is by no means Chet at his zenith. In fact, this is when Chet was in his worst stage of his heroin addiction, However, he still manages to utter some beautiful yet painful experiences and his voice is just the same - full of sorrow and lament. Though in his worst shape, this is the same Chet we know, listen and love. Chet Baker is not a person. He's a sage, an immortal phenomenon that never dies with time. He's jazz at its best. In fact, he is jazz. Jazz is he.
