Representing the jazz legend in his early years, the selections heard on YOUNG CHET are taken from two recording dates, the first in 1954,
and the second two years later. Baker was 25 and 27 years old respectively. This reissue is testament to Chet Baker's innate talent for music,
including his ability to play trumpet with great lyrical insight and conceptual maturity. Always dedicated to reviving obscure tunes, he breathes
new life into Kai Winding's 1949 composition, "A Night on Bop Mountain," employing the talents of Bill Loughborough on a percussion instrument known
alternatively as the chromatic tympani or boobams. Baker also performs a light and airy version of Miles Davis' 1951 blues, "Down." An especially
lively piano solo from Bobby Timmons marks the latter, while the trumpeter himself plays with an unerring melodic shrewdness.
When Chet Baker recorded his "Chet Baker Sings" album in 1954, the quartet recorded the music without the vocals which Chet later overdubbed.
A few years later, Pacific Jazz used five of those tracks (#1-5 here) and overdubbed Bill Perkins and Jimmy Giuffre where the space for the
vocals had been, creating some new Baker masters. Despite the artificial means, this works beautifully. Tracks 6-12 are more great material
from the "Chet Baker And Crew" sessions with Phil Urso and Bobby Timmons, which did not fit on "Crew" CD.
