On February 29, 1980, Chet Baker performed at the Dreher Club in Paris. He was backed by Maurizio Bianmarco (ts), Dennis Luxion (p), Rcardo Del Fra (b) and Donny Donable (d). Fortunately director Leon Terjania was there with three cameramen to capture the set.
The Dreher was located at Place du Châtelet, on the corner of Rue Saint-Denis, a few blocks from Île de la Cité and Notre-Dame cathedral. By the mid-1980s, the establishment ceased to be a jazz club.
