Chet Baker Plays the Best of Lerner and Loewe (1959) is one of Baker’s last U.S. recordings before moving to Europe. This eight-track album, released during his brief time with Riverside Records, was inspired by the success of Shelly Manne's My Fair Lady interpretations but features a more understated approach. The timeless melodies, along with the talented backing group, make it a memorable concept album. Craft Recordings is reissuing four of Baker’s Riverside albums, all remastered and pressed on 180-gram vinyl, including this one, Chet Baker in New York, and It Could Happen to You.
