  • Description

    The complete album + 8 bonus tracks, 2LP gatefold edition - 180g audiophile pressing includes 5 previously unissued alternate takes.


    Recorded and released in The Netherlands by Gerry Teekens for his Criss Cross label in 1985, Chet's Choice marked one of the best studio albums from Chet Baker's final years. It presents Baker, beautifully captured in stereo, singing and playing the trumpet in an intimate trio format with guitarist Philip Catherine and bassist Jean-Louis Rassinfosse.

    This expanded edition presents the full seven tunes from the original album plus three songs that only previously appeared on the CD edition of Chet's Choice, as well as five amazing never heard alternate takes.

    Chet Baker: trumpet
    Philip Catherine: guitar
    Jean-Louis Rassinfosse: bass
    Hein Van De Geijn: bass (B2-B4 only)

    Recorded at Studio 44, Monster, The Netherlands, June 6th & June 25th, 1985.
    Produced by Gerry Teekens and engineered by Max Bolleman.
