Chet Baker - The Legendary Riverside Albums (180 Gram 5-LP)

[UPDATE] - The four Chet Baker albums, recently remastered for this sold out box set, are now available as individual breakout LPs, exclusively via the Craft store! Quantities are as limited as 10 - 120 copies per title, so are bound to go fast. Shop the collection here. 

Few musicians have embodied the romantic, and ultimately tragic, jazz figure as totally as Chesney “Chet” Baker (1929-88). Unschooled yet eloquent in his music, the Baker mystique has only reinforced one of the most haunting trumpet styles and ingenuous approaches to jazz singing. The Legendary Riverside Albums is a collection that features four legendary Chet albums released in the late ‘50s on Riverside Records, plus a bonus LP with choice outtakes and alternates from Baker’s Riverside sessions. Features jazz legends Bill Evans, Kenny Burrell, Johnny Griffin, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones & others.
