'Pete Tanton's American accent lends itself to conjuring the whole Chet Baker image: the black and white photographs of the softly spoken, anything-but unphotographable, West Coast Cool, Hermosa Beach Lighthouse star.' - Bebop Spoken Here
From Hollywood pinup to heroin addict, An Evening with the Chet Set: the Music of Chet Baker, celebrates the life and music of Chet Baker, the eponymous trumpet player and vocalist whose career saw him paired with artists as diverse as Charlie Parker and Elvis Costello, before his mysterious death from an Amsterdam hotel window.
With Mick Shoulder, bass;  Alan Law, piano; John Bradford, drums
