Our Take

Chet Baker's "Albert's House" is a delightful romp through the mind of a jazz legend. With his signature trumpet in hand, Baker delivers a collection of tracks that are as smooth as butter and as crisp as a freshly pressed shirt. The album's title track, "Albert's House," is a jaunty tune that bounces along like a happy toddler on a trampoline.

Baker's buttery vocals are on full display in tracks like "Blue Thoughts" and "Waltz for Debby," showcasing his range and control with every note. The arrangements on this album are tight and polished, with each instrument shining through like a well-oiled machine.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Albert's House." Tracks like "Lonely Star" and "Missing You" delve into darker territory, with Baker's hauntingly beautiful lyrics cutting through like a sharp knife. It's a testament to his skill as a songwriter that he can evoke such emotion with just a few words.

Overall, "Albert's House" is a triumph for Chet Baker, cementing his status as a true jazz master. So grab your finest glass of whisky, dim the lights, and let the smooth sounds of Chet Baker wash over you like a warm bath. You won't be disappointed.
