Description
THE COMPLETE PACIFIC JAZZ LIVE RECORDINGS OF
THE CHET BAKER QUARTET
WITH RUSS FREEMAN
Released by Mosaic Records
Limited Edition (7500 copies) 4 LP Box Set.
Booklet with William Claxton photographs, liner notes, discography.
The contents of this four-LP/three-CD collection are derived from two performances during the summer of 1954
and feature the Chet Baker Quartet: Baker (trumpet/"boom bam" percussion), Russ Freeman (piano), Carson Smith (bass),
and Bob Neel (drums). The two performances -- recorded July 21 at Santa Cruz's Civic Auditorium and August 10 at
The Tiffany Club in Los Angeles, respectively -- are presented chronologically. The five tunes from the July set were documented
by Pacific Jazz renaissance man Dick Bock using primitive portable open-reel (aka reel-to-reel) technology. Despite a few
inherent tape anomalies, the amazingly rich sound rivals that of many studio releases of the same era.
Unlike much of Baker's catalog that remained decidedly more subdued, The Complete Pacific Live Jazz Recordings of Chet Baker
with Russ Freeman captures the trumpet player as a young man at the very zenith of his talents.
The lavish booklet contains some of William Claxton's brilliant photography of the band circa the summer of 1954.
This is an essential addition to any appreciation of Chet Baker or Russ Freeman.

CONDITION
VERY GOOD
The box top is separated from the bottom. The Mosaic Records box sets were hinged with a strip of the same
textured paper that wrapped the box and was a fragile construction. The rest of the box is fine.
The booklet has a fold line at top right corner on first 2 pages, the rest of the booklet is excellent.
The vinyl looks to have been played but is in excellent condition.
Dust sleeves are all original and very good.
