This album was recorded in July 1959 in New York City, with Chet Baker as the lead soloist accompanied by a quartet that included Kenny Drew on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums. The repertoire consists exclusively of songs by the composing duo Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, taken from musicals such as 'My Fair Lady', 'Gigi', and 'Brigadoon'.
The album was produced by Riverside Records, a label with which Baker collaborated during his return to the United States after his stay in Europe. The recordings took place at Reeves Sound Studios, and the album was released that same year on LP. Baker performs both trumpet and vocals on several tracks, showcasing his characteristic lyrical and melancholic style.
Although specific information about the producer is unavailable, the album was supervised by the Riverside team. Critics have highlighted Baker's sensitivity in adapting Broadway melodies, achieving an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere. The album did not achieve major sales at the time, but over the years it has become a cherished piece among cool jazz collectors.
