Our Take

Chet Baker's "Intimacy" is a seductive cocktail of smooth melodies and cool vibes that will have you feeling like you're sipping a martini in a dimly lit jazz club. With his signature breathy vocals and masterful trumpet playing, Baker takes us on a journey through love, heartbreak, and everything in between.

The album kicks off with the sultry "My Funny Valentine," a classic that showcases Baker's intimate storytelling and impeccable phrasing. Tracks like "These Foolish Things" and "I Get Along Without You Very Well" transport us to a bygone era of sophistication and romance.

But don't be fooled by the album's title - "Intimacy" is not all candlelit dinners and whispered confessions. Baker also delves into grittier territory with the bluesy "I Fall in Love Too Easily" and the haunting "You Don't Know What Love Is," reminding us that love can be both a sweet symphony and a bitter pill.

Overall, "Intimacy" is a timeless masterpiece that cements Chet Baker's status as one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. So pour yourself a drink, dim the lights, and let Baker's smooth soundscapes wash over you. Just be prepared to fall in love with every note.

Hailing from Yale, Oklahoma, this small-town boy had a big impact on the jazz scene. Baker's music was a unique blend of West Coast cool jazz and bebop, creating a sound that was both smooth and energetic. 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. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or a casual listener, Chet Baker's music is sure to transport you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of New York City.
