2LP - Limited Edition 180g Virgin Vinyl with Bonus Track housed in a Gatefold Sleeve.
Perennial jazz stars Chet Baker and Bill Evans rarely recorded together and this 2LP set, including a bonus track, represents all of their collaborative sessions. By the time the music was taped, Chet was already known as much for his singing as for his trumpet playing, but all of the performances here are entirely instrumental. After cutting these sides Baker and Evans would go their separate ways and these recordings remain the only testimony of their subtle and elegant musical interactions.
Chet Baker trumpet, Bill Evans piano plus: Herbie Mann, flute Pepper Adams, baritone sax Kenny Burrell, guitar Paul Chambers, bass Connie Kay, drums Philly Joe Jones, drums Zoot Sims, alto sax. Pepper Adams, baritone sax Earl May, bass Clifford Jarvis, drums. Recorded in New York, 1958 & 1959.
