Charlie Parker & Chet Baker – Bird & Chet 1952

This Album is of historic value. Trumpeter Chet Baker is heard shortly before he joined Gerry Mulligan’’s quartet participating on a jam session
with altos Charlie Parker and Sonny Criss. They play lengthy versions of four songs and there are plenty of heated moments on this bop set.
