Chet Baker Quartet - Chet Baker Quartet (Chet Baker in Paris, Vol. 1) - LP

180g Vinyl LP, Remastered from the Original Master Tapes

In October 1955, Chet Baker and his quartet arrived in France, and the man who stepped off the plane lived only for, and by, his art. Volume One brings together the first two sessions, recorded October 11 and 14, 1955, with Richard "Dick" Twardzik on piano, Jimmy Bond on bass, and Peter Littmann on drums. Chet performs eight originals by Bob Zieff plus a solitary contribution from Twardzik, "The Girl From Greenland," capturing a quartet at the jazz avant-garde.
