The number of new Chet Baker releases seem to be never-ending. Released for the first time in 1998, this CD matches the charismatic trumpeter/vocalist in London with several Europeans (guitarist Jean-Paul Florens, pianist Henri Florens, bassist Jim Richardson, drummer Tony Mann and, on three selections, singer Rachel Gould) for a reasonably well-recorded and spirited studio session. Baker is OK singing "'Round Midnight" (there is a second instrumental version too) and a couple of scats, while Gould is fine on "All Blues," "Straight No Chaser" and the guitarist's "Phil's Bossa." However, the main reason to acquire this set is for the spots where Baker is backed only by guitarist Florens, and for his instrumental interplay with his sidemen. The interpretations are melodic, lyrical, usually relaxed (even at faster tempos), and well worth a close listen. Chet Baker was in good form on those two days. Recommended.
