This Time The Dream's On Me (Vol. 1)
Out Of Nowhere (Vol. 2)
My Old Flame (Vol. 3)
Chet Baker Quartet
3 great Pacific Jazz CD's chronicling Chet Baker and Russ Freeman's
live performances. This is
 where you
really start to hear Chet find his own sound. He starts branching out on
the two My Funny Valentine's found here,
and his recordings of Stella By Starlight sound like the one's he did in
the 1980's. The recording quality is pretty average in Volume 1, but it
improves in Volume 2 and 3, especially considering how noisy American Jazz
clubs used to be. Zing Went The Strings of My Heart is amazing, and it's one the fastest tempo tune Baker
ever recorded. On several cuts, he plays the "Boo-bams", a bongo-type
instrument invented by his friend Bill Loughborough.
