Our Take

CHET BAKER Big Band - A Big Sound from a Big Band

If you thought Chet Baker was just a smooth jazz trumpeter, think again. In this album, Baker trades in his trademark cool vibes for the swinging energy of a Big Band, and boy does he deliver.

From the moment the horns kick in on the opening track, you can tell this is going to be a wild ride. The arrangements are bold, the melodies are infectious, and the musicianship is top-notch. It's like Baker has taken a time machine back to the golden age of big band jazz and brought it back to the present day.

Tracks like "Swingin' with Chet" and "Baker's Big Break" showcase Baker's incredible range as a musician, effortlessly blending smooth balladry with frenetic bebop. And let's not forget the impressive solos from the band members, each one more captivating than the last.

But it's not all about the music - Baker's cheeky charm shines through in every note. Whether he's crooning over a sultry saxophone solo or trading licks with the trombonist, you can't help but smile at his infectious energy.

So if you're looking for a fun, quirky twist on classic jazz, look no further than CHET BAKER Big Band. It's a big sound from a big band that's sure to put a spring in your step and a smile on your face.
