Recorded and released in the Netherlands by Gerry Teekens for his Criss Cross label in 1985, Chet’s Choice marked one of the best studio albums from Chet Baker’s final years. It presents Baker singing and playing the trumpet in an intimate trio format with Philip Catherine (guitar) and JeanLouis Rassinfosse (bass). This expanded edition presents all seven tracks from the original album, plus three songs that appear here for the first time on vinyl, and five previously unreleased alternate takes.
