Our Take

Ah, Chet Baker, the man whose trumpet playing was as smooth as his jawline. The Lyrical Trumpet Of Chet Baker, which is now available on limited transparent yellow vinyl, is a delightful addition to any jazz lover's collection.

This album is a perfect showcase of Baker's signature sound - velvety tones that ooze coolness and sophistication. From the sultry notes of "My Funny Valentine" to the toe-tapping rhythms of "Maid in Mexico," Baker's trumpet sings like a small bird perched on a branch, chirping sweet melodies into your ear.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each note crystal clear and perfectly balanced. The arrangements are lush and full, providing the perfect backdrop for Baker's smooth-as-silk trumpet solos. And let's not forget about the accompanying musicians, who provide the perfect accompaniment to Baker's lyrical playing.

But what truly sets this album apart is Baker's vocals. His soft, slightly raspy voice adds an extra layer of emotion to each track, making you feel like he's singing just for you. It's like a warm hug on a cold winter's day - comforting and familiar.

In conclusion, The Lyrical Trumpet Of Chet Baker is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. So grab yourself a glass of wine, put on your best smoking jacket, and let the smooth sounds of Chet Baker serenade you into the night. You won't be disappointed.
