Chet Baker — Five From '65: The Quintet Summer Sessions includes five original studio albums, recorded in New York City across one week in August 1965: Boppin', Smokin', Groovin', Comin' On, and Cool Burnin' are being made available on vinyl for the first time in more than 50-years.
Representing a critical moment in his career, Chet Baker hooked up with a superlative band for these recordings: George Coleman; Kirk Lightsey; Herman Wright and Roy Brooks play throughout on these thrilling sets, which were originally issued by Prestige Recordings.
New Land has gained full access to the original analog mono tapes, and Kevin Gray has remastered and cut (AAA), giving them fresh sonic detail. At the center of this package is a book featuring an incredibly detailed essay by Grammy Award nominee James Gavin that intertwines the true story behind these recordings with interviews from those who were involved.
Illustrated with rare photographs and ephemera, this is the deepest dive into these recordings to date. These aren't just "late-era" Chet recordings — they're a document of reinvention. For collectors, this fills a crucial gap between his iconic 1950s cool jazz era and his darker 1970s European sessions.
