It was recorded in December 1958 and January 1959 and released on the Riverside label.[1]
Though Baker was by the late 1950s known as much for his singing as his trumpet playing, this album is entirely instrumental.
It contains 9 standard ballads (and the Chet Baker composition "Early Morning Mood" as an additional bonus track on the CD version) played in the styles of hard bop to cool jazz. Though the album is entirely devoted to explorations of the ballad mood, it includes considerable variety.[2]
