The perfect setting for Chet Baker in his latest years was in a quiet trio with guitar and bass. This 1992 CD brought out a previously unreleased, but well-recorded live set in which Baker is joined by guitarist Philip Catherine and bassist Jean-Louis Rassinfosse. Although there are a couple of typically indifferent vocals by Baker, his trumpet playing is in fine form throughout the date, which includes George Shearing's &Conception,& &Tune Up& and the umpteenth remake of &My Funny Valentine.&
