Chet Baker's trumpet just five months before his death, in a touching drumless ensemble.

Baker was able to maintain this magical atmosphere, where time cease to exist both when he was playing his trumpet with his usual elegance and when he was singing with his ethereal voice and delicate and light scatting. Chet Baker realized the uniqueness of the evening from the first tune. The Touch of Your Lips confirms how appropriate was Chet intuition to use Stilo at the piano. His comping perfectly complements Baker’s voice and when given space he continues with along piano solo at a very slow tempo that gives continuity to the magic created by Bakers’ voice. And finally, the trumpet takes center stage carrying the baton sweetly received from the pianist. Chet Baker solo is a way of storytelling, very moving and slow paced.
