Witch Doctor 
Chet Baker and the Lighthouse All-Stars
Nice little recording from one of the Lighthouse's famous Sunday afternoon jam sessions. The concert is lively, and everyone seems to be having fun. Because of the number of guests soloist, we don't get to hear Chet very much. He shares time with Swedish trumpeter Rolf Ericson, who had a similar sound at the time.
