Chet Baker (ldr), Chet Baker (t, v), Bob Mover (as), Harold Danko (p), Michael Moore (b), Jimmy Madison (d)

Chet Baker (v) on d.

This is a private recording of a live performance. On J For Jazz 805 (an LP with very low production values), "Dolphin Dance" is called "Chetmania" and "Donna Lee" is called "Woodspile." Bob Mover is not credited anywhere on this LP and does not appear on the other tracks which feature Phil Woods. All the Baker tracks (incomplete) appear on side B of the LP. Track B-1 begins with the Woods quartet playing All the Things You Are which merges into the Baker quintet playing Dolphin Dance followed by For Miles and Miles (which track is never mentioned anywhere on the LP).The latter overlaps into B-2 and then becomes Donna Lee. The information on this session comes from the Lerfeldt/Sjogren Chet Baker discography which incorrectly lists track b as "Resonant Emotions" (thanks to Peter Mansell).

Chet Baker (ldr), Chet Baker (t), Bob Mover (as), Harold Danko (elp), Cameron Brown (b), Artt Frank (d)

The exact date of this live performance is not known but Bob Mover remembers it as being sometime in 1975. My copy of this session has speed problems, with the tracks running too fast, so the timings shown are inaccurate. Also, track c is incomplete.

Chet Baker (ldr), Chet Baker (t, v), Bob Mover (as), Harold Danko (p), Dave Shapiro (b), Jimmy Madison (d), Ruth Young (v)

Chet Baker (v) on d; Ruth Young (v) on b.

This recording is taken from a radio broadcast. The information comes from the Lerfeldt/Sjogren Chet Baker Discography which indicates that the vocalist on track b is Anita O'Day. Bob Mover confirms that the vocalist is Ruth Young. Track e is incomplete.

Bob Mover (ldr), Tom Harrell (t, fh), Bob Mover (ss, as), Yoshiaki Masuo (g), Harold Danko (elp), Dave Shapiro (b), Jimmy Madison (d), Jay Clayton (v)

Bob Mover (ss) on a, c; (as) on b.

This was a demo recording made at the home studio of Don Elliott. The three titles were rerecorded in 1977 and issued on the Choice label. See the session of February 1977 below. The information comes from Bob Mover.

Chet Baker (ldr), Chet Baker (t, v), Bob Mover (as), Warren Chiasson (vib), Harold Danko (p), Dave Shapiro (b), Jimmy Madison (d)

This recording is taken from a Voice of America radio broadcast of a program called "Salute To Jazz and the American Song." Phyllis Diller was the MC. Other performers included Jim Hall, Zoot Sims, Cy Coleman, Helen Humes, Johnny Hartman and Margaret Whiting. The information comes from the Sjogren Chet Baker Discography, Peter Mansell and the Library of Congress website.

Chet Baker (ldr), Chet Baker (t, v), Bob Mover (as), Larry Ridley (b), David Lee (d)

Jacques Pelzer (ss) on f-g; (as) on d; (f) on e; Chet Baker (v) on c, f.

These tracks come from radio and TV broadcasts. The information on this session comes from the Lerfeldt/Sjogren Chet Baker discography and from Jeroen DeValk and Peter Mansell. Track g is incorrectly listed as "Airegin" in the Sjogren discography. Baker announces Pelzer as playing soprano sax and flute but track d has two alto saxophone solos and aural evidence suggests the one preceding Baker's solo is Pelzer and the one following it, Mover.

Chet Baker (ldr), Chet Baker (t, v), Jacques Pelzer (ss, as, f), Bob Mover (as), Harold Danko (p), Dave Shapiro (b), Beaver Harris (d)

No recording date is found on the LP. The Bruyninckx and Lord discographies give the recording date as Autumn 1977. Track b is listed as "All the Things You Are" but pianist Dan Gaynor has identified this variation of that standard as the Warne Marsh line "Dixie's Dilemma." Track f is an alto saxophone duet.

This ensemble is called The Players Association and the music is in the disco genre characteristic of the 1970s. Nonetheless, there are some fine solos by some of the participants. The actual recording date/dates is/are not known. The personnel is probably collective over several recording dates and overdubbing may have been employed. The trumpet/flugel horn soloist throughout is Tom Harrell. Bob Mover solos on track b (soprano sax) and track c (alto sax). Vanguard VSD 79421 contains a sixth title, Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" performed by another ensemble of which Bob Mover is not a part.

These live performances were recorded on video by the Dutch Jazz Archive and on audio tape by Chet Baker historian Jeroen De Valk who provided the information on this session (thanks also to Joop van der Leij). The bassist was a last minute substitute for Rocky Knauer whose identity has not been definitively confirmed. At the beginning of the concert, Baker introduces him as "Paul Whitten" who is a bassist from the United Kingdom. But at the break, Baker identifies him as what sounds like "Paul Wither." No bassist with a name like this has been found so I am assuming that the bassist is Whitten. The track timings differ from those given in Sjogren's Chet Baker Discography. On track g, Baker plays piano (with only his right hand) and Stilo plays acoustic guitar.
