22-CD SET
LIMITED EDITION COLLECTOR'S ITEM
The complete recordings of Chet and Art playing together compiled for the first time in a single set!
Featuring Richie Kamuca & Carl Perkins
Includes 16-page booklet
Reunited here for the first time in one single pack, the collaborations between Chet Baker and Art Pepper were originally issued in such a disparity of ways that it might seem difficult at first to think about them as a coherent body of work. Their first session, for instance, was originally segmented in a variety of compilation albums. Baker and Pepper’s most famous album Playboys was also released (with a totally different cover but identical liner notes!) under the title Picture of Heath. The remaining collaborations of these two great artists are big band efforts.
Personnel:
CHET BAKER, trumpet on all tracks.
