Chet Baker Big Band

Chet Baker Big Band is an album by jazz trumpeter Chet Baker recorded in 1956 and released on the Pacific Jazz label.

The album contains three tracks performed by an eleven piece group and seven tracks played by a nine piece group.

The repertoire is a mix of standards and original compositions by Christian Chevallier and Pierre Michelot as arranged by Jimmy Heath, Michelot, Chevallier, and Phil Urso.

Regarding "Worrying the Life Out of Me", the original LP liner notes state "Phil Urso, a regular member of Chet's current quintet (along with Bobby Timmons, James Bond, and Peter Littman), wrote and arranged 'Phil's Blues' and 'Worrying the Life Out of Me'." However, the composer credits listed on the same LP release state that the tune was composed by Miff Mole, Bob Russell, and Frank Signorelli, who copyrighted "Worryin' the Life Out of Me" in October 1945.
