Our Take

Chet Baker, the man, the myth, the legend. A jazz icon with a voice as smooth as silk and a trumpet that could make angels weep. The Making Of Chet Baker Sings takes us on a journey through his creative process, his struggles, and his triumphs.

From the hauntingly beautiful rendition of "My Funny Valentine" to the toe-tapping swing of "Let's Get Lost," Baker's vocal range is truly something to marvel at. His ability to convey emotion through his music is nothing short of extraordinary. It's almost as if he's whispering directly into your ear, serenading you with tales of love and heartbreak.

The production on this album is impeccable, with each instrument shining through in perfect harmony. The backing band provides the perfect canvas for Baker's voice to soar, creating a lush, immersive listening experience.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows for Baker. The dark undertones of his life seep through in tracks like "I Get Along Without You Very Well" and "Someone to Watch Over Me," reminding us of the pain and turmoil that he faced throughout his career.

In the end, The Making Of Chet Baker Sings is a testament to the raw talent and unbridled passion of one of jazz's greatest musicians. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of whiskey, and let Chet Baker take you on a journey through the highs and lows of his remarkable life.
