The Legendary Riverside Albums set provides a heaping helping of Baker’s years immediately after his breakthrough work with Gerry Mulligan, to wit, the four Riverside discs released between 1958 and 1959: Chet Baker in New York (RLP 1119); It Could Happen to You: Chet Baker Sings (RLP 1120); Chet (RLP 1135); and Chet Baker Plays the Best of Lerner and Loewe (RLP 1152). Chet’s the leader on each of these records and is backed by various combinations of some heavy hitter sidemen, including Bill Evans, Pepper Adams, Kenny Burrell, Paul Chambers, Kenny Drew, Johnny Griffin, Philly Joe Jones, Herbie Mann, Zoot Sims, and others. The set is rounded out with a bonus LP of outtakes and alternates.
