Album Review: Chet Baker – My Time With Chet

Chet Baker, “My Time With Chet” (Sleepy Night Records)-This affecting anthology draws on recordings made at various venues around the world by record producer and Chet Baker devotee Ernie Garside during the latter stages of the Jazz vocalist and trumpeter’s ultimately tragic career. Baker’s death in a fall from an Amsterdam hotel window in 1988 robbed the genre of one of its’ most distinctive talents at the age of just 59 and some fine examples of his work are gathered together here, including an eloquent 1987 interpretation of Elvis Costello’s “Almost Blue.”
