Blues For A Reason
Chet Baker Quintet featuring Warne Marsh
The meeting of these two greats produces some magical moments. Baker and Marsh burn through "Well Spoken" with some smoking-hot solos. Chet then plays one of the prettiest versions of "If You Could See Me Now" that he has ever laid down. "We Know It's Love", "Looking Good Tonight" and the title piece are three fun little swinging tunes penned by Chet.
