Alone Together * How High The Moon * It Never Entered My Mind * ‘Tis Autumn * If You Could See Me Now * September Song * You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To *Time On My Hands [You In My Arms] * You And The Night And The Music Few figures in jazz history have been able to extract as much feeling from a ballad as Chet Baker. Despite his lack of formal training, he was capable of burrowing deep inside the most sophisticated popular songs and tapping a vein of pure emotion. When surrounded by great musicians in an unusual ensemble, as he is on this album, Baker’s poetic instincts were at their keenest. The distinctive septet of jazz giants contains a front line of trumpet, flute, and baritone sax playing Herbie Mann’s delicate arrangements over a rhythm section that is empathy personified. Baker never recorded with a more talented or sensitive group, as the music evokes a mood captured so seductively in the cover photo.•Bonus Track (not on original LP): Early Morning Mood•Features Pepper Adams, Herbie Mann, Kenny Burrell, Bill Evans, PaulChambers, Connie Kay, and Philly Joe Jones
