Chet Baker Introduces Johnny Pace is an album by trumpeter Chet Baker featuring vocalist Johnny Pace which was recorded in 1958 and released on the Riverside label early the following year.

Reception

Allmusic awarded the album with 3 stars stating "Pace delivers a winning program of standards in a style that owes an obvious debt to Frank Sinatra, but distinguishes itself by means of fruitier tone and an occasionally pronounced vibrato... Recommended".
