Chet Baker with Fifty Italian Strings is an album by trumpeter Chet Baker which was recorded in Italy in 1959 and released on the Jazzland label.[1]
Allmusic awarded the album with 1½ stars stating "Fans will want this set but, due to the mundane string arrangements and the lack of variety, more general collectors should acquire his earlier jazz-oriented dates first".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings is more positive, describing the album as “a good one of its kind”, and awarding 3 stars.
