CHET BAKER, ART PEPPER & PHIL URSO Picture Of Heath (2022 US limited edition 7-track MONO 180gram Heavyweight Audiophile Vinyl LP released as part of the Blue Note Tone Poet Series - Having teamed up on two prior recordings, trumpeter Chet Baker & alto saxophonist Art Pepper continued their fruitful collaboration with this supremely swinging 1956 album. The sextet for the session was brimming with top talent from the West Coast Jazz scene including tenor saxophonist Phil Urso, pianist Carl Perkins, bassist Curtis Counce and drummer Larance Marable. A notable feature of the date was its focus on the compositions of saxophonist Jimmy Heath who penned five of the album's tracks while the set is rounded out by two of Pepper's tunes: Minor-Yours and Tynan Tyme and the playing throughout is unfailingly vibrant with exquisite solos and lively band interplay all of which which makes this a quintessential cool jazz date. The back-pasted picture sleeve remains sealed within the hype-sticekered outer dust jacket).
