Photographer: William Claxton. Chet Baker began playing the flugelhorn when his trumpet was stolen from a Paris club. In August 1965, he spent three days in a studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey recording material as a quintet for Prestige Records that resulted in five fine albums. Tracks from the first two, SMOKIN' and GROOVIN,' are compiled into this release. The outstanding quintet includes the tenor saxophonist George Coleman, who was part of the Miles Davis Quintet. His tough, angular playing is prominently showcased throughout these sessions and he is a wonderful foil to Baker's emotional lyricism. Baker's playing here is very inspired, energized, and fiery, and less introspective than his previous recordings which focused on lyrical ballads. Highlights include the standard "Have You Met Miss Jones" and the bop classic "So Easy."
