This chart contains errors.. will fix soon.
This is a very typical sounding Chet Baker solo right here. Much of the solo is built with simple 8 bar motifs all of which logically conclude in readiness for the following phrase. There is not much to be said about the use of scales or chord substitutions. The vast majority of the solo is very 'inside' aside from some chromaticism's during the climax at bar 38. The only other thing I found particularly noteworthy in this was his use of the double II-V in bars 27-28. He has clearly surrounded the F# midway through bar 27, implying Am7-D7 rather than simply outlining an Am7 chord. A very typical device used among the Bebopers... Why play 1 chord when you can play 2 ?? Right? :)
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one.
