Chet Baker Quartet – When Sunny Gets Blue {SteepleChase}

Review by David Schiff ~amazon.com
This is Chet Baker near the end of his career, when his performances were often erratic. But here his horn sounds great. His voice, however, is that of a broken man, but in an odd way that adds to the beauty of the recording.
