This album was recorded in Paris in 1955, during Chet Baker's European stay, after he moved to the continent to escape legal troubles in the United States. The session features Belgian saxophonist Bobby Jaspar, a prominent figure in European jazz at the time.
The quintet includes French and American musicians based in Europe, such as pianist René Urtreger and drummer Jean-Louis Viale. The recording reflects Baker's characteristic cool jazz style, with a lyrical and melodic approach, combined with Jaspar's bebop influence.
The album was originally released by the French label Barclay, and later reissued in various compilations. Although not a major commercial success at the time, it is valued by collectors as an example of Baker's work during his early European period.
