Chet Baker. I've learned to appreciate the singing. Not much of fan when he played with strings. But that horn playing..my oh my.
They really need to make a movie of his life.
Have you seen "Let's Get Lost"?

When I first heard him I was wondering why this guy was singing..he's a horn player. I was just a little pompous about it and wasn't listening.

That Lindberg, Altshul. Lewis recording sounds interesting
