Chet Baker Chet Baker & Crew
Vinyl 12" Stereo
The numbers heard on Chet Baker & Crew were among a prolific flurry of recordings Baker was involved in during the last week of July 1956 - fresh from an extended European stay. The crew on these sides includes Phil Urso (tenor sax), Bobby Timmons (piano), Jimmy Bond (bass), Peter Littman (drums) and of course Baker (trumpet/vocals). Joining the combo on both the original as well as the alternate take of "To Mickey's Memory" and "Pawnee Junction" is Bill Loughbrough (chromatic tympani). His unmistakable percussive accents and tuned drum solos give these West Coast bop tracks uniquely Polynesian intonations. This LP reissue of Chet Baker & Crew increases the original eight-song Pacific Jazz collection to include all 14 tracks complete during three sessions in late July 1956 at the Forum Theater in Los Angeles.

AudioQuest has been the largest cable supplier to the high-end specialist market for many years. AudioQuest was founded by Bill Low in 1977 and his dedication to sonic performance has been at the heart of the continuous development of AudioQuest products. In 1987 Bill also started to design and manufacture 75 ohm video and digital cables. They were dedicated designs based on the same fundamental low distortion principles as the audio, but which took into account the different priorities required for wide bandwidth applications. Over the years the video and digital range grew to include a full-time of "S", "Component" and RGB video cables and cables optimised for long runs of very delicate signals such as from a satellite dish or for HDTV. In the audio world, many professionals have learned that it is not always convenient to listen to the products they sell...they might learn something they don't want to know! Bill has always understood the challenge of combining his passion for music with practical and professional products.
