ASCENT OF THE COOL
Rare and Unissued Chet Baker from the 1950s
LAJI 009
Chet Baker, Ascent of the Cool features rare and unissued recordings that document Chet's early
years on the west coast. These recordings come from a variety of sources all of which are part of
the Los Angeles Jazz Institute archive. The recording quality varies from track to track but the
historical importance makes up for whatever flaws may exist.
The sessions range from Chet's first known recording in 1949 to an appearance on the Stars of Jazz
Television program in 1956. We've programmed the disc in chronological order which creates a
fascinating listening experience. We hear Chet grow from a 19 year old trumpet player who is just
beginning to find his way around the horn, to a full fledged jazz giant fully in command of his
instrument.

Our mission is to collect and preserve jazz materials and make them
accessible to scholars, students, researchers and the jazz community.
To accomplish this, we actively acquire new materials and continue to seek
out important private collections. We also provide a setting where
musicians and their estates can donate or loan their materials with the
assurance that they will be preserved for future generations.
One of the things that makes the LAJI unique is that we actively use the
materials in the Archive by maintaining a busy schedule of outreach
activities including concerts, festivals, broadcasts, publications and the
release of important recordings on compact disc.
Member support along with private and corporate gifts play a vital role in
keeping the Jazz Institute alive. Please consider becoming a member today.
