Legendary Jazz virtuoso Chet Baker during a session for “My Funny Valentine” in 1952. Mr. Baker, nicknamed "The Prince of Cool" by Charlie Parker during the height of the San Francisco ‘50s, led a brilliant, tortured life. His most famous work, a live album entitled “Chet Baker in Tokyo” featuring “Almost Blue” was released a year before his death in 1988.

Chet Baker – Silent Nights
Silent Nights starts mellow and picks up the pace halfway through, after Baker’s breathy “Nobody Knows The Trouble I Have Seen.” It would have been nice to see the trumpeter make something more of these (mostly) typical Christmas tunes, but he plays it safe, holding most of these songs to under four minutes, leaving little room for improvisation. Even so, Silent Nights is a relaxed, reflective half hour of brassy holiday horn playing, certainly worth a yearly listen. (AllAboutJazz).

"Given that its notability rides on the presence of these two titans, both are in short supply. You don’t hear a lot from either Baker or Davis, who seems to be unsure of how to fit together, circling one another like two prize fighters looking for their jabs." i do my best Downbeat 1962 impersonation on my review of Chet Baker's Live In Bologna, 1962 featuring Miles Davis.
