Baby Breeze is an album by trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker which was recorded in 1964 and released on the Limelight label.
The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden states: "Although Chet Baker's recordings from late in his life varied dramatically in quality, this series of studio sessions is a high point in his career. After having his trumpet stolen, he plays beautifully with a borrowed flügelhorn throughout most of these songs with a powerful tone".
