Baker, Chet - Chet Is Back (Speakers Corner, 180 Gram)

 After a two year absence from the studio (most of that time spent in an Italian jail) Chet's return could not have been more triumphant. He quiets all notions that he is a "has been" with his fiery delivery as he swings with a great Italian band. His version of "Rainbow" is one of the prettiest things you'll ever hear. This is arguably his best recording of the 1960's.
