Released in 1956 'Playboys' is a masterpiece by legendary trumpeter Chet Baker and saxophonist Art Pepper.

The album showcases the collaboration between two prominent West Coast jazz musicians and includes other notable players such as pianist Carl Perkins, bassist Curtis Counce, and drummer Lawrence Marable. The album is known for its cool jazz style, characterized by smooth, lyrical improvisations and a relaxed, swinging feel.

Due to potential legal issues with Playboy magazine, the album was reissued in 1961 as "Picture of Heath." This name change also emphasised the contributions of saxophonist and composer Jimmy Heath, who wrote most of the tracks on the album that's a prime example of the West Coast jazz style, which is known for its cool, relaxed sound, contrasting with the more aggressive bebop style of the East Coast.

'Playboys' features intricate arrangements and smooth, lyrical improvisations: tracks like "Picture of Heath" and "For Miles and Miles" highlight the seamless interplay between Baker's trumpet and Pepper's alto saxophone. Critics and jazz enthusiasts have praised the album for its cohesive ensemble work and the individual talents of the musicians.

Although Chet Baker and Bill Evans were both highly lyrical and introspective players who could have made a fabulous partnership, they only ever recorded together on a couple or so occasions. By the time the recordings here were made, Chet Baker had been a star for less than a decade and this wholly instrumental album presents him accompanied by other great jazz stars with whom he would also rarely play and record with again.

"Chet Baker's penultimate session for Riverside produced an all-star lineup to support him, including jazz heavyweights Pepper Adams, Bill Evans, and Kenny Burrell. Each of them makes important contributions to the session. A good place to hear Baker's special way with the horn is made even more attractive with the presence and contributions of top jazz artists." - ***** Dave Nathan, AllMusic
