Mr. B (album)

Mr. B is an album by trumpeter Chet Baker which was recorded in 1983 and released on the Dutch Timeless label.

Reception

The Allmusic review states "There is a sadness permeating the trumpeter's sound throughout, exacerbated by the lazy, sometimes sluggish, tempos. A deep and touching beauty can be felt, marking this as one of Chet's best from the period".
