Editor's Info
Reissue of the last of the seven recordings Chet Baker made for SteepleChase, from 1986. Chet visited Copenhagen in February 1986 to make a TV show and then went into a Copenhagen studio with an American/European first-rate rhythm section. It was two years before his tragic and untimely death in Amsterdam at age 58. Baker's life was still shaky but productive as far as recordings and live performance are concerned.

All Music Guide
"If proof is ever needed that there are too many Chet Baker albums around, this album can serve as evidence. Baker is caught on an off day ... It is a pity, for the recording quality is good, the European rhythm section is fine, and the repertoire is quite suitable. But there are far too many tentative and hesitant moments (along with a few clams) for this set to be on the level it should have been".

The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings
"a fine, unpredictable set"
