Charlie Parker & Chet Baker-Bird & Chet - Inglewood Jam Live At The Trade Winds
Note:
This record was made in the Trade Winds Club in Inglewood, California, on 16 June, 1952. It was re-issued in 1992 under the label Jazz Door (JD 1209). The sound quality is not ideal. There is apparently a warning on the original disk: “Historic Recording: please mind recording date when judging the sound quality”.
This CD is of historic value. Trumpeter Chet Baker is heard shortly before he joined Gerry Mulligan’’s quartet participating on a jam session with altos Charlie Parker and Sonny Criss. They play lengthy versions of four songs and there are plenty of heated moments on this bop set.
