"Fireworks In Firenze," a landmark release from Chet Bakers infamous European Tour. Featuring the Chet Baker Quintet's Complete January 24, 1956 Conservatorio Cherubini Concert. For the first time ever On CD.
This phenomenal double-CD includes the first ever digital recording of Chet Bakers legendary performance at the Conservatorio Cherubini in Firenze, Italy on the afternoon and evening of January 24, 1956. Although Baker performed material during these two sets that wasnt recorded, our edition contains all eight of the tracks that were recorded live from these excellent concerts and originally released on two rare albums by the Replica label.
In addition to the outstanding music above this release also contains 10 bonus tracks that pertain to the same period of time as Bakers Conservatorio Cherubini Concert. These performances are extremely important both for the exquisite quality of the music and great historical significance. They feature Chet Baker with such important musicians as Caterina Valente, the Kurt Edelhagen Orchestra, Al Cohn, Bob Brookmeyer and Gerry Mulligan.
