The record
A Broadway songbook date that pairs Baker's unhurried lyricism with a stacked Riverside bench -- Bill Evans, Zoot Sims, Pepper Adams, Herbie Mann -- turning "My Fair Lady" and "Brigadoon" tunes into loose, blowing vehicles. Rare to hear this trumpeter working through show tunes with such a generous horn section behind him.
