Rediscover a masterpiece by Chet Baker absent from the shelves for decades: Late Night Jazz in quartet, recorded in Paris in 1988, three months before his passing! Available on CD for the first time. Late Night Jazz by Chet Baker, an exceptional album, long out of print and impossible to find, is finally reissued on vinyl and available on CD for the first time in France. This gem, recorded in February 1988 in Paris, brings back to life a memorable studio session, captured just three months before Chet Baker’s tragic passing. Accompanied by exceptional musicians: pianist Egil Kapstad, bassist Terje Venaas, and guitarist Philip Catherine, Baker delivers here a performance of rare intensity. This spontaneous recording, organized in part by the Norwegian poet Jan Erik Vold, took place in a friendly atmosphere and the chemistry between the musicians was described as magical, with exceptional improvised performances. This reissue offers not only all of the original tracks, but also three previously unreleased alternate takes, absent from the original vinyl version. Enhanced by a 28-page booklet, this exclusive edition is full of unpublished photos and anecdotes that will delight jazz lovers. Late Night Jazz is more than just a reissue: it is a vibrant tribute to one of the greatest trumpeters of all time, in one of his last studio sessions. It represents an important period in Baker’s life and bears witness to a collaboration between jazz artists of the very highest level.
