by Chet Baker Sextet

Recorded in Rome for RCA Victor shortly after his release from an Italian prison, this session finds Chet Baker backed by an international sextet featuring Ennio Morricone's future collaborator Amedeo Tommasi. Shaking off his West Coast cool jazz languor, Baker plays with surprising muscularity and speed, navigating complex bop arrangements with a renewed, energetic focus.
