Requisites

Chet Baker Introduces Johnny Pace is an album that was recorded on December 23, 29 & 30, 1958 at the Reeves Sound Studio in New York City. However, it was released in 1959 on the Riverside record label. Orrin Keepnews produced the 36 minute 19 seconds sessions.

The Riverside design team of Paul Bacon, Harris Lewine and Ken Braren joined forces and created a richly colorful strip of type that worked so perfectly with the lush cover portrait of the vocalist. The photograph was taken by Melvin Sokolsky.

Pace was discovered by Chet Baker for this rare and only recording of the singer, who is backed by Baker’s quintet.
