Our Take

Ah, Chet Baker – the king of cool jazz, the man with the trumpet that could make even the iciest of hearts melt. And now, his iconic album "Chet" has been given the vinyl treatment, in a stunning clear/white splatter colourway that looks like a Jackson Pollock painting gone wild.

From the moment the needle drops, you're transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of 1950s New York City. Baker's smooth vocals float over the delicate piano melodies and gentle brush of the drums, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and timeless.

Tracks like "Alone Together" and "Tenderly" showcase Baker's masterful trumpet playing, his notes weaving effortlessly in and out of the music like a ribbon in the wind. It's impossible not to be swept away by the sheer elegance and beauty of his performance.

But it's not all smooth sailing on this album. Baker's troubled personal life and struggles with addiction are reflected in the hauntingly melancholic tone of songs like "There Will Never Be Another You" and "You're Mine, You". It's a bittersweet reminder of the tragic figure behind the music.

So, if you're looking to add a touch of sophistication and a dash of melancholy to your vinyl collection, look no further than "Chet" by Chet Baker. This stunning reissue is a must-have for any jazz aficionado – just remember to pour yourself a stiff drink and let the music work its magic.
