Peace (Chet Baker album) explained

Peace is an album by trumpeter Chet Baker which was recorded in 1982 and released on the German Enja label.^{[1] [2] [3]}

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "This one is a bit unusual since the trumpeter is accompanied by David Friedman (on vibes and marimba), bassist Buster Williams and drummer Joe Chambers. The music is somewhat challenging and it inspires Baker to come up with some lyrical statements. There are many Chet Baker recordings from his final decade and his true fans will want to pick up this one".
