Chet Baker is highly regarded as one of jazz's greatest trumpet players and he recorded numerous albums over his 35-year recording career. Recorded in 1969, Albert's House features 11 instrumental compositions by Steve Allen who produced the recording session to assist Baker in restarting his career after a horrific dental injury in 1968.

The sessions feature an all-star group of players with Paul Smith on keyboards, Barney Kessel on guitar, Jim Hughart on bass and Frank Capp (of Wrecking Crew fame) on drums.
