For Chet Baker Fans (and all fans of great music)


Chet Baker - Blue Room.  Recent release of two CD set, these previously unissued recordings are from 1979 sessions at Vara Studios in Holland.  The sessions are in pristine condition and Chet's playing is superb.  The packaging is also first rate and contains a 24 page booklet with lots of interesting reading.  So nice that new Chet Baker material is seeing the light of day.  Available from Amazon, I can highly recommend this to anyone who likes beautiful music.

The Prestige recordings from 1965  on CD are excellent. Boppin' with the Chet Baker Quintet is a personal favorite recording.

excellent!!! I love Chet Baker too but kept buying poorly recorded stuff (especially CDs can be worthless) I'll order some LPs and get in the Chet groove, He is so mesmerizing and therapeutic. Unless any other! Seems to play from a place so genuine and almost subconscious if I can even try and express how I feel when he plays.

I concur with this one...

I own 80 selected albums at least,... They are all if not astounding in expression, interesting as any other great musician...

Chet is a minimalist in his best albums... Two notes from him kill many others musician...

He is a legend because of this absolute minimalism in the mid and bass range mainly...

i dream to read a book about him, the best is certainly from a drummer who play with him for decades... I dont remember his name...

In classical piano my favorite players are not usually the known virtuoso of their instruments, more the expressiveness master, it is the same for me in Jazz...

If you like Chet Baker this is a must. I have this on vinyl!

Thanks for the Info...

Chet is one of my favorite jazz player... In the ruins of his playing stay the gems of his supreme minimalist expressiveness...There is many virtuosos on the trumpet, not much move us the way he does...

My best to you...
