3 Essential Albums

This three-album collection explores the jazz icon’s broad range of interests: Stan Meets Chet (1958) is a wholly instrumental collaboration with Stan Getz; Baby Breeze (1964) features Chet’s vocals and flugelhorn backed by a large ensemble; and You Can’t Go Home Again (1977) is a fusion classic featuring Michael Brecker, John Scofield, Paul Desmond and some unforgettable performances by drummer Tony Williams.
