This is arguably Chet Baker's best recording for SteepleChase, and it's also one of the hardest to find. This recording is great because it is unlike most other Baker recordings. There are no standards here, only seven great Duke Jordan compositions. Also, Chet plays a rarely-heard muted trumpet on several cuts. It sounds like he had fun making this one, it's too bad Baker and Jordan didn't record together more often. It is strange that one of Chet's greatest albums has one of the worst pictures of him on the cover!
