Highly recomended!

This is one of a few rare albums where the whole is bigger than the sum of the parts. There is a quiet, mellow, and very introspective side to this albumn that almost defies description. It's not in the same league as "Kind of Blue", the best jazz album ever IMHO- but it has that same serene feel- on one level, straightforward and simple, yet much more expressive and complex than you first imagine. Every time I listen to it, I enjoy it more.

A lovely recording

I read the other reviewer and took a chance here. I am happy I did, Chet Baker sounds better than I ever heard him before on other recordings, and the pianist has a soft, fluid, delicate touch, and is a wonderful accompanist here. Solos nicely, too.
Nothing much needs be said regarding Higgins (Billy RIP) and Haden, two hall of famers in my book. You hardly notice them but they are there making you take full notice.

I now believe Chet Baker was superior to Miles Davis, but he seems to have lost this magical touch over later recordings. Here is a Chet I never knew could play so fluidly and melodically perfect.

Witness his trio with saxophonist Jan Garbarek and...
