Baker, Chet & His Quintet With Bobby Jaspar - Chet Baker In Paris, Vol. 3

The three original Chet Baker In Paris albums, originally released on Barclay Records, have been remastered from the original master tapes and presented on 180g vinyl in single sleeves with original jackets and liner notes. Volume 3 brings together music from a few different sessions recorded between October 25, 1955 and February 1, 1956. However, only one session (December 26) contains Jaspar on tenor saxophone, performing “How About You?” and “Chik-Eta.” The other sessions feature Baker leading groups with variable formation: quartet (performing “Alone Together,” “Exitus,” and “Once in a While”), quintet (with Jean-Louis Chautemps on tenor performing “Tasty Pudding” and “Anticipated Blues”) or octet (performing “Chet,” “Dinah,” and “Vline”). Despite having been construed as rather a poor relation opposite the others in the trilogy, this last volume contains performances which are among the most beautiful that Chet Baker produced during this period.
