CD

Wonderful lost work from Chet Baker! Chet recorded these sides during visits to Paris in 1955 and 1956, and they feature some of his best work from the mid 50s. Most of the material is in quartet format, and two of the tracks on the CD have Chet working with the legendary pianist Richard Twardzik, a fantastic talent who passed away in Paris at a tragically young age. Other groups on the set feature great European talents like Francy Boland, Gerard Gustin, and Raymond Fol – and a few tracks even feature Baker as the lead soloist with a larger group, in arrangements by Pierre Michelot or Francy Boland. There's a total of 14 tracks in all, and although the CD doesn't include all of the Barclay material, most of it's pretty darn rare in any format, and the presentation of the material is impeccable! Titles include "Sad Walk", "Tenderly", "Chet", "Just Duo", "Tasty Pudding", "Exitus", and "In A Little Provincial Town".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Used CD Grade

We use the all-encompassing grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or packaging details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the CD. This might include, but isn't limited to, scratches, tracks that skip, case/insert damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
