I had a long flight last week and read a biography of Chet Baker.  Ever since I got back I've been doing a deep dive into late period Chet, when he recorded frequently in Europe, usually in trio format without a drummer.

The best records from this period that I know of are Mr. B, a heart-stopping trio featuring Michel Grailler on Timeless,  and the two Circle dates from the Subway Club,  which are a whole 'nother trip, with Baker taking LONG uptempo solos.

‘Alan’ Eager. Such a great record and a great live sound, well recorded. One of my desert island discs. The follow up on X, Handy with strings,  is so disappointing
