This obscure LP teams Chet Baker with altoist Christopher Mason in a quintet for a set of Christmas-oriented music. The concept might have worked better but the performances (all but one being under four minutes and most under three) are overly concise and rarely get beyond the melodies. No chances are taken during this so-so release. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/silent-nights-a-christmas-jazz-album-mw0000195481
