Chet Baker Sextet
features tracks recorded by trumpeter
Chet Baker
in 1954 and 1957 for the
Pacific Jazz
label and released over the years on various albums, including the original
Playboys
date. These are stellar "
West Coast
"-style tracks reminiscent of the small group work
Baker
did with saxophonist
Jerry Mulligan
and featuring first class arrangements by
Jack Montrose
and
Bob Zieff
. However, the
Zieff
cuts feature an unusual for the period chamber-style group with French horn, bassoon, cello, bass clarinet, and bass. The result was softly angular and very modern for the time. Interestingly most of the tracks have remained largely unavailable until this collection. While there are far more influential
albums from the '50s,
Sextet
is a beautiful album and a must-hear for
aficionados. ~ Matt Collar
