Chet Baker, where to start?

hey

Can anyone help me out here. I would likde to get to know Chet bakers music cause everyone always talks about him in such high regard, but I have no idea where to start. there seem to be so many (cheap) compilations & stuff out there, I can't even find which are his Real albums and what are cheap rack-fillers. Anyone got any suggestion where to start with this guy?
