Details:
This deluxe, boxed set 2-CD collection presents all of the studio session master-takes made during Chet Baker’s 1st European tour in 1955 & 1956, which was originally released on two LPs and one EP. The 1st two of these sessions featured the splendid pianist Dick Twardzik, who would die in Paris from a drug overdose soon after the recordings were made. The band arrived in Paris in September ’55 - Dick Twardzik was 24, Jimmy Bond was 22, Peter Littman only 20—and Baker, for all his achievements, was just 25 - with his good looks still intact. It was the first time any of them had travelled outside North America. Also involved in these European sessions were : Bobby Jaspar, René Urtreger, Raymond Fol, and Francy Boland. While on the five bonus tracks recorded in Los Angeles, in 1954, the personnel included : Bud Shank (as,fl), Charlie Mariano (as), Herbie Steward (ts), Bill Holman (ts,arr), Pepper Adams (ts), Claude Williamson (p), Mel Lewis (d), Russ Freeman (p), Don Fagerquist, and Johnny Mandel (arr). Total Time: 154.01 mins. - 36 tracks - splendid sound quality - new and careful 20-bit re-mastering
