Product Info The photographs of William Claxton define the essence of cool – his stunningly intimate images of icons like Chet Baker combine technical innovation and an unerring se nse of the moment to forge a singular aesthetic he defined as ‘jazz for the eyes’ - Jason Ankeny (AllMusic) The cover of this LP is a publicity photo session for Pacific Jazz owner Richard Bock in Los Angeles 1954. Freeman supplied Baker with a swinging, rhythmically kinetic if still laid-back harmonic bed over which to further his signature approach to jazz improvisation. On the inside, we see another shot of the two at Radio Recorders Studio B in Hollywood 1954.
