The cool jazz movement redefined jazz. Chet Baker In New York is among the hallmark recordings of this era. The overall quality of the source material engineering is excellent. There is explicit stereo separation and the instrumental layers are rendered with pristine clarity. This re-mastered vinyl is a superior analog recording, and a must for any jazz collection!  - Sound 5/5 Audiophileaudition

The undeniably erratic early career of Chet Baker involved roller-coaster extremes and musical paradoxes. In the Fifties, his sound and approach were often compared to Miles Davis, although his greatest successes came in a West Coast setting, began in Gerry Mulligan's cool, piano-less quartet, and often emphasized ballads and soft-toned vocals. But this album shows Baker in a unique direct assault in Davis territory

 recorded in New York; including a couple of tunes associated with Miles; and above all with a driving East Coast supporting cast made up of tough-tenor Johnny Griffin, bebop veteran Al Haig and frequent Davis colleagues Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones.
