2007 eight CD box set from the Jazz legend. Chet baker lived and worked in Paris in 1955 and 1956 and in this short time span, he left a great legacy of extraordinary recordings for the Barclay label. For the first time, these recordings are gathered together complete and in chronological order for this astounding box set. Chet In Paris includes 15 previously unreleased recordings (eight of them being full-takes), a new remastered mix and beautiful packaging: a 12 x 12 box containing four double digipaks, an 84 page booklet with rare covers, concert programs, pictures and extensive liner notes, interviews and discographies.

This is an excellent rock album. The warmth of the large audience comes over well and the sound is excellent, the orchestra integrating effectively with the band, enhancing the music, and Les's singing voice holds up remarkably well given the punishing tour schedule the band has been undertaking. It's easy to see that this band has played often together, they play well and do full justice to the excellent songs, drawn from BJH's entire history. Mike Byron-Hehir puts in some storming guitar work, including on old classics, that will please all Barclay James Harvest fans…
