The last great concert
I've been on a Chet Baker kick lately, and this, his last concert recorded just two weeks before his death in 1988, captures him at his musical height in the full mature perfection of his trumpet and vocal sound.
And this 1959 album shows him at his best before his heroin-fueled decline and fall in the 60s and 70s.

Whew!
Take a moment with a groove laid down by Sun Ra and his Arkestra, introduced by big-haired David Sanborn in 1990.
That's some hot stuff.
