Our Take

Chet Baker's The String Sessions is a delightful romp through the jazz icon's iconic repertoire, reimagined with lush strings and a touch of whimsy. It's like listening to your favourite classic album through rose-tinted glasses, with a cheeky wink thrown in for good measure.

The album opens with Baker's signature track "My Funny Valentine", given a new lease of life with soaring strings and a playful arrangement that will have you tapping your toes in no time. The laid-back vibes continue with tracks like "I Fall in Love Too Easily" and "Let's Get Lost", both of which showcase Baker's effortless charm and smooth vocals.

But it's not all light and breezy - tracks like "You Don't Know What Love Is" and "There Will Never Be Another You" delve into the darker corners of Baker's repertoire, adding depth and complexity to an already rich and varied album.

Overall, The String Sessions is a joyous tribute to a true jazz legend, with enough twists and turns to keep even the most seasoned Baker fan on their toes. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Chet Baker serenade you into the night. You won't be disappointed.

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.
