Chet Baker, the smooth operator of jazz, is back with his latest offering, a sax-filled extravaganza that will have you snapping your fingers and tapping your toes. The Sextet & Quartet album is a delightful romp through Baker's signature sound, with a touch of whimsy and a dash of cheekiness thrown in for good measure.

Tracks like "Moonlight In Vermont" and "My Funny Valentine" showcase Baker's impeccable skill on the trumpet, while the rest of the ensemble shines brightly in their own right. The interplay between the musicians is tight and polished, creating a seamless blend of sound that is as satisfying as a perfectly brewed cup of English breakfast tea.

Overall, CHET BAKER Sextet & Quartet is a triumph of jazz that will leave you with a smile on your face and a spring in your step.

Chet Baker

Chet Baker, the iconic jazz trumpeter and vocalist, was the epitome of cool in the 1950s and 60s. With his dreamy looks and smooth vocals, Baker captured the hearts of music lovers around the world. 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. So pour yourself a martini, sit back, and let the smooth sounds of Chet Baker wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
