Chet Baker in New York is an album by trumpeter Chet Baker recorded in 1958 and released on the Riverside label early the following year.[1] The album includes a Benny Golson composition, "Fair Weather", that is not to be confused with a Kenny Dorham song of the same name that Baker recorded in 1986 for the Round Midnight sountrack album.
