Our Take

Ah, Chet Baker - the cool cat of jazz, the man with the golden trumpet. His latest album, "In New York," is a smooth, sultry journey through the bustling streets of the Big Apple.

From the moment the first trumpet note rings out, you're transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of Manhattan. Baker's velvety voice floats effortlessly over the swinging rhythms, drawing you in with every lyric.

The arrangements are top-notch, with each instrument adding its own flavour to the mix. The horns blare, the drums thump, and the piano tinkles away, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is impossible to resist.

But what really sets this album apart is Baker's effortless charisma. His vocals exude a laid-back charm that is simultaneously enchanting and disarming. You can't help but be drawn in by his crooning, as he effortlessly glides through each track with a nonchalant swagger.

"In New York" is a love letter to the city that never sleeps, a homage to the greats who came before. It's a celebration of all that jazz has to offer, wrapped up in a stylish, sophisticated package that only Chet Baker could deliver.

So put on your finest suit, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let Chet Baker take you on a trip through the streets of New York. You won't regret it.
