Chet Baker was a primary exponent of the West Coast school of cool jazz in the early and mid-'50s. As a trumpeter, he had a generally restrained, intimate playing style and he attracted attention beyond jazz for his photogenic looks and singing. But his career was marred by drug addiction.

This collection presents all of the music originally issued from Chet Baker’s studio sessions made for the Barclay label during his first European tour in 1955 and 1956, which was initially presented on three LPs. Most of these sessions are in a quartet or a quintet format. The very first two feature the splendid pianist Dick Twardzik, who would die in Paris from a drug overdose soon after the recordings were made. Also featured on this set are Bobby Jaspar, René Urtreger, Francy Boland & Jean-Louis Viale, among others.

When Baker landed in Paris in September 1955, the nightlife of the St. Germain-des-Prés quarter was uninhibitedly competing with New York City's 52nd Street. At the time, American jazz musicians frequently recorded with the local musicians like Henri Renaud, Jean-Louis Viale, Pierre Michelot, Martial Solal, René Urtreger, and Bobby Jasper, as well as American expatriates including Dave Amran, Jay Cameron, and Jimmy Gourley.

Ambassadeur van dit theaterproject is niemand minder dan Greetje Kauffeld. In de eerste instantie was deze First Lady of Jazz uitgenodigd als eregast en zou zij zingen in het eerste theaterconcert. Na een prachtige carrière waarin zij meerdere keren prestigieuze prijzen won, besloot zij echter-na alle lockdowns- eind 2021 te stoppen met zingen.

Emarcy released these 4 CD's of the complete 1955 - 1956 Paris Barclay recordings on CD in 1988. Volume 1 contains lot's of unusual Bob Zieff tunes introduced to Chet by pianist Dick Twardzik. The band is top-rate, the material is interesting, but with the exception of Sad Walk, not very memorable. Things start to pick up on the last tracks, when Chet is joined by a swinging septet (credited as "Chet Baker and his Orchestra"!?). The last tune, In Memory of Dick, is a tribute to Twardzik who died at age 24 during these sessions. Volume 2 contains no Bob Zieff tunes here, just standards. Unlike the cool bop Chet was playing with Russ Freeman around this time, these are mostly ballads. He's backed by a fine band and they swing pretty. Volume 3 is more of the same, but a little more upbeat. Volume 4 contains alternate, unreleased takes from the famous 1955/56 recordings.

The piano-less quartet fronted by Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan proved to be enormously influential and set the groundwork for many other groups.
