Chet Baker

NEW MINI-LP PAPERSLEEVE GATEFOLD REPLICA WITH OBI

INCLUDES 5 BONUS TRACKS

The 1958 album CHET: The Lyrical Trumpet of Chet Baker presented Baker (who doesn’t sing on any of these tracks) in an unusual setting, accompanied by great jazz musicians with whom he would only rarely play and record: Bill Evans (these were his first two sessions with the pianist), Herbie Mann, Pepper Adams, and Kenny Burrell. “Early Morning Mood” wasn’t included on the original LP due to time limitations, and appeared on a compilation album.
