I was in the 298th Army band with Chet in 1947 in Berlin, Germany. He was 17 years old & had a fantastic ear then. Wasn't a very good reader but could play anything, We had a great time while in the Army. Also Bob Badgely was with us & leader of the dance band.

A trumpet players that sings or a singer that plays the trumpet. Perfect by any name.

you forgot to mention that, if baker used a vibrato, it was the most perfect vibrato ever to be heard.

@splitsock You are right.

Listen carefully: Chet does use vibrato although only "lightly" and only to ornament certain sustained notes.

Always so romantic and smooth! Tahnks to Leslie Robinson, wherever she may be, for lending me that cd back in the Berklee days... Much love! Max!
