padCHET BAKER-BIG BAND

Pacific Jazz CDP 0777-7-81201-2-4

Six bonus tracks

From AMG: Though technically not a "big band", Chet benefits from a tremendous ensemble of 6, 9 and 11 piece bands. Art Pepper, Bud Shank, Shelly Manne, Phil Urso, Jimmy Bond, Bob Brookmeyer.....the line up reads like a "who's who" of 1950's west coast jazz.
