"Young Chet" tonight on Night Lights


Recommended Posts

Several recent Pacific Jazz re-issues of Chet Baker will be the focus of this week's Night Lights, including CHET BAKER ENSEMBLE, CHET BAKER SEXTET, and CHET BAKER SINGS AND PLAYS. These recordings were all done between 1953 and 1955, when Baker's star was ascending and he was relatively untroubled by the drug habit that would plague so much of his later life. Players include Bud Shank, Bob Brookmeyer, Jack Montrose, and Bob Gordon. Two Bob Zieff-penned compositions from a Dec. 1957 session will be featured as well. The show airs at 11:05 p.m. this Saturday (8:05 California time, 10:05 Chicago time, 11:05 NYC time) on WFIU; the webstream can be found here. On Monday it will be posted in the Night Lightsarchives.

Next week: "Miles Davis & the JACK JOHNSON sessions."
