I saw Chet Baker the last time late in 1987 and it was the most beautiful Chet I had ever heard, and I had heard him many times from 1978 on. But in reality he looked much more "spent" than on this photo, though he still had that young man´s body, slim and everything, combined with a face of a 70-80 years old . But he played so great, was on time, was very very nice to the audience. 
One tune he played very often those days was some slow bossa titled "Black and White" or something. He also played that old Miles Davis tune "Down"..... such a great musician during all those 10 years I knew about him. 

On that mentioned slow bossa I think, Nicola Stilo, his flautist  played guitar instead of the flute. I must admit, all those flute solos on all those albums, I was not always happy with that.  The flute is not my most favourite instrument. I would have preferred his wonderful trumpet sound with a warm tenor sax or only with piano and bass (he is the only musician that I accepted without a drummer , otherwise I pick up most stuff BECAUSE it has a good drummer)

It has Hank Mobley´s "Turnaround" on it, huh ? Great line up with guitar, vibe and organ. 
Sometimes I let it sound in the course of a really hot summer night, in the garden with some cool drink and some hip movements to it, especially by Serena. 
We love those nights when I´m not workin and we can make some party just we two 😄

Mal Waldron was on a roll in the 1980`s .... beneath formidable duos with Steve Lacy the sessions with Marion Brown stand out .... btw masterful versions of "Blue Monk" ....
