Artist Biography
Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker, Jr. (December 23, 1929 – May 13, 1988) was an American jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist and singer. Baker's music earned him a large following (particularly albums featuring his vocals, such as Chet Baker Sings), while his "matinee idol-beauty" and "well-publicized drug habit" drove his notoriety and fame. Baker died in 1988 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Thanks for the comments.
Yes it was a great sounding performance. The audience seemed to love it too...!
Thanks for listening and we're glad you're enjoying these features.
Wish I'd made this date back then, I've listened to this session four or five times now , and delighted with the playing and the musicians. Wish it could all be again...
Relaxed at home on Sunday afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed listening to this great concert through my stereo system recorded in February 2001.
A great line-up of musicians and great vocals by Nichaud and Shelley.
I have always been a Gerry mulligan fan and one of my all time jazz classics is the Chet Baker/Gerry Mulligan live recording of My Funny Valentime at Carnegie Hall in the 1950's.
It would be fantastic if Gianni and Friends performed this concert again in Melbourne almost ten years later. It would be an extremely popular concert and I for one would not miss it!
