Quartet
Russ Freeman & Chet Baker
On this last meeting of the two jazz greats the billing has changed, with Freeman getting him name before Baker's. It is Baker that shines, however. 1956 was arguably Chet's best year for bop, and this CD stands along side The Route, Chet & Crew, and Playboys as some of the hottest music he ever laid down.
