What's included:

• (Pdf) Trumpet Transcription in Bb 
• (Mp3) Backing Track

Chet Baker’s cool trumpet sound meets Charlie Parker’s Latin-tinged composition My Little Suede Shoes in this live performance from 1954. Recorded at the Tiffany Club in Los Angeles, the quartet delivers a relaxed yet swinging interpretation, blending bebop phrasing with West Coast jazz clarity.

Originally written by Charlie Parker, the tune became a favorite among jazz musicians for its singable melody and light bossa-flavored groove. Baker’s version highlights his lyrical approach, Russ Freeman’s subtle piano comping, and the tight rhythm section of Carson Smith and Bob Neel. A perfect example of Baker’s early quartet at its peak.
