September Song
Star Eyes
Chet Baker
More pairings with the great Duke Jordan. It has none of the magic of 1979's No Problem, but there are some good moments. On September Song, Chet's sings a lot, tunes that he didn't usually sing, such at "But Beautiful" and the title cut. Baker blows loud and high on "Barbados", but overall, it's a pretty laid-back session. The tracks on Star Eyes find Chet playing some long, burning solos. Both CD's offer mediocre sound quality.
