• This Chet Baker quintet set, released here for the first time on DVD, was filmed on February 29, 1980 (yes, it was a leap year!) at the Paris Jazz spot ‘Le Dreher’ at No.1., Rue Saint-Denis. It was a small cellar bar that hosted Chet Baker several times during his European tours. He used to play there for several evenings in a row.

• By the time the performance presented here was filmed, Baker was having a good time with European audiences, who afforded him the respect and status of living legend.

• Baker’s concerts during his later years often depended upon his constantly varying health. When Chet took the stage in good shape, then he could still be unique and unsurpassable. On this evening at “Le Dreher” Chet felt well, and plays as only he could (he also sings a bit on “Just Friends”, but sadly he was mostly off-mike).

• Personnel : Chet Baker, trumpet; vocals on 4 only; Maurizio Gianmarco, tenor sax; Dennis Luxion, piano; Ricardo del Fra, bass; Donny Donable, drums - at Le Dreher, Paris, France, February 29, 1980. A film by Léon Terjanian.

• Total Time: 61:00 min. - 6 tracks - Colour/Mono.
