This ten-CD box set is a treat for all jazz lovers: it contains a total of 17 original LPs by the legendary trumpeter, who was also a soulful singer. His fans regard Chet Baker as the co-creator of a restrained, typically cool, lyrical trumpet playing style inspired by Miles Davis. At the age of ten, his father had given him a slide trombone, which he swapped for a trumpet, following the example of Harry James. In a very short time, Baker learned to play simple swing melodies by himself and also showed a talent for improvisation. He became popular as a trumpet player in Gerry Mulligan's quartet, with whom he wrote the hit single "My Funny Valentine".
