There's no need for anyone to blow his trumpet. Chet Baker does it with consumate grace and with a swing that does justice to the material he transforms from good to magnificent. White Blues is littered with cool cool tracks that tell their own tales. Here is a white player who truly understands the blues and makes a connection with the great players and singers of the music. His phrasing has the timing of Billy Holiday, the grace of early Miles and the drive of The Bird. White Blues is the business.
