Reviews :
“Considering his erratic lifestyle, it is surprising how many good records Chet Baker made during his final 15 years. This quartet outing with pianist Phil Markowitz, bassist Scott Lee, and drummer Jeff Brillinger comprises four songs (including a 17-minute version of Wayne Shorter's obscure "Beautiful Black Eyes"). This is joined by previously unreleased and fairly long versions of "I Remember You" and "Love for Sale." The quiet but swinging music is quite enjoyable and finds Baker in fine form.” AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow
