Oh You Crazy Moon (subtitled The Legacy: Vol. 4) is a live album by trumpeter Chet Baker which was recorded in 1978 but not released on the German Enja label until 2003.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Rick Anderson states "certainly worth hearing, if not quite essential. Baker's accompanists provide most of the truly transcendent musical moments ... Overall, this is an album his established fans will enjoy, but those looking for a good entry into his voluminous catalog will do best to start with the 1950s recordings that made him a star".
