One of the main players of the West Coast school of jazz, Chet Baker (1929-1988) shined both as a trumpeter and as a singer. He displayed both a forceful tone on fast tunes and a gentle and soft sound on ballads, which gained him fame even outside of jazz circles. Despite his multiple personal problems due to drug abuse, Baker was active and highly creative until the very last years of his life, which he spent living in Europe. This DVD contains performances taken from two concerts, one in Stuttgart, the other in Tokyo, where he displays his subtle magic in some of the tunes that made him famous, like "I'm Fool To Want You" and the perennial "My Funny Valentine".

Christophe Wallemme describes this effort as a "wink at the great standards of American jazz," a laudable objective but an affirmation that seems intended to confuse the listener. The explicit musical references on Start "So Many Ways…" point instead to Antonio Carlos Jobim and Miles Davis' Bitches Brew rather than "Body and Soul" or "My Funny Valentine." No matter.
