 | Friday, December 7th at 9pm: The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present the second of two nights of Chet Baker albums with the Andy Distel Band performing Chet Baker Sings and Plays, released in 1956. ALBUM BACKGROUND: "With the growing popularity of Chet Baker's first vocal album, Chet Baker Sings, Pacific Jazz producer Richard Bock wanted to capitalize on both facets of his young star's abilities. Hence, the trumpeter turned vocalist entered the studio in 1955 with both his quartet featuring pianist Russ Freeman and an expanded sextet including bassist Red Mitchell, Bud Shank on flute, and various string players. The resulting album, Chet Baker Sings and Plays, helped set in stone the image of Baker as the jazz world's matinee idol and icon of '50s West Coast cool." ~Matt Collar PERFORMANCES BY: Andrew Distel - Trumpet/Vocals Dennis Luxion - Piano Jim Barbick - Flute Christian Dillingham - Bass Jeremy Cunningham - Drums Jeff Yang - Viola Ray Ostwald - Viola Herine Coetzee Koschak - Cello Alyson Berger - Cello ADMISSION & LOCATION: Doors open at 8:00pm.
