Notes
Chet Baker’s legendary 1958 New York session!
180-gram vinyl pressed at RTI
Mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio from the original master tape
Features Chet with East Coast jazz legends Johnny Griffin, Philly Joe Jones, Al Haig and Paul Chambers
Few musicians have embodied the romantic, and ultimately tragic, jazz figure as totally as Chesney “Chet” Baker
(1929-88). Unschooled yet eloquent in his music, the Baker mystique has only reinforced one of the most haunting trumpet styles and ingenuous approaches to jazz singing. In New York, here is his legendary 1958 session featuring east coast jazz legends Johnny Griffin, Philly Joe Jones, Al Haig and Paul Chambers.
