Chet is Chet Baker at his most lyrical, an all-instrumental album from 1959 built largely around slow, glowing standards, presented here on purple vinyl.

Subtitled The Lyrical Trumpet of Chet Baker, it was produced by Orrin Keepnews for Riverside across two sessions at Reeves Sound Studios in New York, straddling the turn of 1959. The supporting cast is remarkable: Bill Evans on piano, Pepper Adams on baritone saxophone, Herbie Mann on alto flute, Kenny Burrell on guitar, Paul Chambers on bass, and Connie Kay and Philly Joe Jones sharing the drum chair.

With no vocals at all, the focus falls squarely on Baker's trumpet, soft-edged and conversational, floating over arrangements that never crowd him. Alone Together opens with a slow, moody glow, Adams' baritone adding a dark, velvety undertow. It Never Entered My Mind strips things back to trumpet, guitar, bass and drums for a moment of real fragility, while 'Tis Autumn and You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To show how Evans' gentle voicings can make a familiar tune feel newly minted.

This is music for low lamps and quiet rooms, with every player listening as hard as they play.

For admirers of Baker's horn, or anyone curious about Evans as a sideman, the purple pressing is an easy one to love.
