This meticulously curated collection, released on November 22, 2019, by Craft Recordings, brings together a treasure trove of tracks from Baker's iconic Riverside Records era. Spanning a generous 3 hours and 17 minutes, the album is a rich tapestry of jazz, cool jazz, and vocal jazz, showcasing Baker's unparalleled artistry and charm.
