Diane is an album by trumpeter Chet Baker and pianist Paul Bley recorded in Denmark in 1985 and released on the SteepleChase label.[3]

Critical reception

[edit]

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings describe Bley as an ideal duo partner for Baker, and say that only a “murky sound” prevented the album receiving a four star rating.[2]
