The three original Chet Baker in Paris albums, originally released on Barclay Records, have been remastered from the original master tapes and presented on 180g vinyl in single sleeves with original jackets and liner notes. Volume 2 was recorded on October 24, 1955, just three days after Twardzik's passing due to an overdose. Chet leads his quartet with Jimmy Bond (the only one left from his original accompanying trio), young French pianist Gerard Gustin and Swedish drummer Nils-Bertil Dahlander (filling in for Peter Littman who returned to America). Given the context, they fall back on standards. THe whole session exudes a kind of sadness that's impossible to put down, whatever the choice of tune or tempo. Limited Edition.
