ALBUM

Baker's Holiday finds Chet Baker effectively paying tribute to Billie Holiday with mellow trumpet solos and occasional vocals. Baker is backed by a full sax section and a four-piece rhythm section that includes pianist Hank Jones; Jimmy Mundy contributed the colorful arrangements. His performance of ten songs associated with Lady Day (most of which he had not recorded previously) is often exquisite. [Verve/Hybrid reissued Baker's Holiday: Plays & Sings Billie Holiday in 2004 and shortened the title.] ~ Scott Yanow
