Chet Baker Sextet is a studio album recorded in 1954 for the Pacific Jazz label, produced by Richard Bock. The sextet includes musicians such as Phil Urso (tenor saxophone), Bobby Timmons (piano), and Jimmy Bond (bass), among others.
The album reflects Baker's characteristic cool jazz style, with arrangements combining his lyrical trumpet with horn sections. It was one of Baker's early works as a leader of a larger group, following his success with the Gerry Mulligan quartet.
The recording took place in Los Angeles and shows Baker's transition towards a more orchestrated sound, while maintaining his focus on melodic improvisation. The album was well received by critics and is considered an example of West Coast jazz.
