Chesney Henry Baker Jr was more than just a trumpet player.He was so many things to so many people. To some, a BixBeiderbecke for the post-bebop generation, forever creatinglyrical phrases that sometimes jumped for joy, or opting for amelancholy beauty, so sad you could almost hear the tearsfalling. To others he was a flawed Hollywood hero, a face thatset him apart from the usual run of 52nd Street icons; a FromHere To Eternity Montgomery Clift or James Dean in headhungfrustration in Rebel Without A Cause. Released in 1959the Chet album proved to be one of the trumpet star’s lastofferings before heading back to Europe for what wouldbecome know as the Milano sessions.
