A Japanese concert from Chet Baker, but one that features some of the wonderful European musicians who were helping him make some of the best recordings of his later years! During this period, Chet was often at his best when he could relax and lay back in a very mellow, open, spacious groove – which is definitely what's created here by the lineup of Michel Graillier on piano, Ricardo Del Fra on bass, and John Engels on drums – a wonderful combo who never push things too hard, and who get wonderful results from Chet in the process. Titles on this first volume include nice long takes on "But Not For Me", "Broken Wing", "Round Midnight", and "If I Should Lose You"
