Chet Baker & Art Pepper: Picture of Heath

Chet Baker came to prominence as the trumpeter in the Gerry Mulligan Quartet, but later became a much-recorded leader in his own right. This mid-1950s session teams him with tenorist Phil Urso, a regular member of Bakers quintet at the time, and the prominent West Coast altoist Art Pepper. Jimmy Heaths sparkling Picture of Heath features a confidently swinging and lyrical Baker, a passionate Pepper, and a rock-solid, on-the-beat Urso over the top-notch rhythm sections firm foundation.
