Complete Recordings

Import-only two CD collection containing the complete recordings of Chet and Art playing together. Reunited here for the first time in one single pack, the collaborations between Chet Baker and Art Pepper were originally issued in such a disparity of ways that it might seem difficult at first to think about them as a coherent body of work. Their first session, for instance, was originally segmented in a variety of compilation albums. Baker and Pepper's most famous album Playboys was also released (with a totally different cover but identical liner notes!) under the title Picture of Heath. The remaining collaborations of these two great artists are big band efforts.
