My Favourite Songs - The Last Great Concert (Vol. 1) Straight From The Heart - The Last Great Concert (Vol. 2) Chet Baker Technically, this is not Chet's last concert, but this is the last known recording of Chet. The inclusion of many of his standards (My Funny Valentine, I Fall In Love Too Easily, Well You Needn't, etc) make a nice coda to Chet's career. The strings are sometimes a little overpowering, and in spots Chet sounds a little tired. He pulls through, and makes some beautiful music along the way. Chet seems to be having fun, particularly in the big-band pieces like Look for the Silver Lining.
