Our Take

Chet Baker: a jazz legend, a musical maestro, and a man with the cheekbones to make even the most dedicated musician jealous. His latest album, "My Funny Valentine" is a gatefold packaging masterpiece complete with stunning photographs by William Claxton.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a dimly lit jazz club in the heart of New York City. The smooth sounds of Baker's trumpet fill the room, swirling around you like a warm hug from an old friend. Each note is played with such precision and feeling that you can't help but be drawn in.

The title track, "My Funny Valentine," is a standout moment on the album. Baker's voice is like honey, sweet and smooth, as he croons the lyrics with a heartfelt sincerity that is impossible to ignore. The trumpet solo that follows is pure magic, a testament to Baker's unparalleled talent and skill.

But it's not just the title track that shines on this album. Each song is a gem in its own right, from the upbeat swing of "Alone Together" to the haunting beauty of "I Fall in Love Too Easily." Baker's ability to capture the essence of each song and evoke such deep emotion is truly a gift.

In conclusion, "My Funny Valentine" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast, a masterclass in musicality and emotion that will leave you captivated from start to finish. Chet Baker may be gone, but his music lives on, a timeless reminder of the power of jazz and the enduring legacy of a true musical genius.
