Chet Baker Big Band

Reception

Lindsay Planer of Allmusic states, "The critical argument proposing that Baker's style is more akin to bop — and the residual post-bop — than the West Coast cool that he is often connected with gets tremendous validation throughout not only the four big-band tracks, but also the remainder of the album".
