Our Take

Chet Baker, the man, the myth, the trumpet-playing legend, is back with a bang in his latest album "Big Bandin'". This jazzy masterpiece is a delightful blend of Baker's signature cool and the infectious energy of a full-on big band.

From the moment the horns kick in on the opening track, you know you're in for a wild ride. Baker's smooth tones float effortlessly over the groovy rhythms, transporting you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of New Orleans.

The big band arrangements are impeccable, adding layers of depth and texture to Baker's already mesmerising sound. The brass section shines in tracks like "Swingin' with Chet" and "Funky Town Blues", while the rhythm section keeps things tight and funky throughout.

But it's Baker's trumpet playing that steals the show. His solos are a masterclass in improvisation, weaving in and out of the band with effortless grace. The man hasn't lost his touch, that's for sure.

In conclusion, "Big Bandin'" is a triumph for Chet Baker and a testament to his enduring talent. So grab a glass of bourbon, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey. You won't be disappointed.

His trumpet playing was delicate and emotive, while his singing was laid-back and intimate. Baker's music was the perfect soundtrack for late nights and lazy Sundays. Despite his undeniable talent, Baker's personal life was tumultuous. His struggles with addiction and legal troubles often overshadowed his musical achievements. But through it all, Baker remained a true artist, pouring his heart and soul into every note he played.
