Chet Baker in Europe (subtitled A Jazz Tour of the NATO Countries) is an album by jazz trumpeter Chet Baker drawn from sessions recorded in Paris in 1955 for Barclay Records and released in the U.S. on the Pacific Jazz label.[1] One consists largely of compositions by Bob Zieff, which pianist Dick Twardzik had introduced to Baker's repertoire; the other side consists of standards, recorded with a different quartet after Twardzik's death from a heroin overdose.[2]
