Baker's CTI recordings (which were usually arranged by
Don Sebesky) always came off well. For what would be his final CTI date, he was matched with guitarist
Jim Hall, flutist
Hubert Laws and a fine rhythm section for two jazz standards ("Django" and "All Blues") and a pair of unusual pieces ("Malaguena" and "Swan Lake"). Throughout, Sebesky's charts favorably showcase
Baker's lyrical trumpet, making this a recommended LP that deserves to be reissued on CD.
