I love his playing, but do you have a question? Best recent Chet Baker LPs that I have heard are from Sam Records, based in Paris and pressed in France, all mono only. Sam also has some Lester Young, Dexter Gordon, etc, all superb.

Do you have any experience or thoughts on the Craft label? I've been seeing quite a few interesting reissues popping up on that label, but would like to hear some firsthand experiences from folks who've given them a try before I jump on anything.

I'll look into those Sam Records pressings.

I love Chet Baker.... 

He never played much  for playing but to sing with a trumpet.... It is way more difficult than it seems... If not, why nobody could ever replicate his musicality?


I love Kenneth Wheeler for example but  he dont sing and probably could not even if it is a genius in his own right....I want all his cd.....I already own near 100 Chet Baker....
