Your Favorite Chet Baker Recording

I just went to a play about Chet Bakers life featuring a lot of his music and while I am familiar with a lot don't have much of his music. I would welcome any recommendations from you audiogoner cats as to your favorite chet baker recordings - both cd and vinyl. Many thanks in advance

Am I the only one that thinks that the only thing flatter than Chet Bakers horn is his voice? Lyrical, yes. Great side men, yes. Just so grotesquely flawed that I can't stand to be in the same room with his playing. It hurts.

Unsound, If you don't like the sound of his playing, just don't listen to him. This is your second negative post to a request for recommendations for his recordings. Whats your point?

I guess I'm just so surprised that an audience that seems to put so much emphsis on sound and music embraces this stuff. Your point is well taken and I will refrain from further comment.
