Review:In 1959 while in Italy,
Baker was showcased playing trumpet and (on five of the ten songs)
singing a set of ballads while backed by a large string section. Fans will
want this set but, due to the mundane string arrangements and the lack of
variety, more general collectors should acquire his earlier jazz-oriented
dates first. -- Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
