Info for Boppin' With The Chet Baker Quintet (Mono Remastered)

Originally from Oklahoma, trumpeter and singer Chet Baker became the golden poster boy of West Coast cool jazz in the early 1950s following a starring role with the groundbreaking Gerry Mulligan Quartet. His subsequent solo career was marked by several ups and downs, largely due to Baker’s drug addiction, but in 1965, after many turbulent years, the hornblower made a comeback by joining the noted New York indie jazz label, Prestige.

Boppin' with the Chet Baker Quintet is an album by trumpeter Chet Baker which was recorded in 1967 and released on the Prestige label.

These aren’t just “late-era” Chet recordings - they’re a document of reinvention. For collectors, this fills a crucial gap between his iconic 1950s cool jazz era and his darker 1970s European sessions. The interplay with Coleman is especially rare and electric. “These sessions let one know he could break through his "cool" image by playing heated bop when he wanted to. It also finds him debuting on flugel horn and the softer tone fits his introverted sound well"
