Perennial jazz stars Chet Baker and Bill Evans rarely recorded together. By the time this music was taped, Chet was known as much for his singing as for his trumpet playing. However, all of the songs presented are entirely instrumental. In between the two main sessions here, Evans would record the classic Kind of Blue LP with Miles Davis. Although Baker and Evans would go their separate ways after cutting these sides, the recordings remain the only testimony of their subtle and elegant musical synergy.
