Chet Baker - Re:Imagined (CD)
Product Details
Baker's breathy trumpet tone and aching vocal vulnerability made him a singular figure in West Coast cool jazz, equally at home in the Miles Davis orbit as he was soundtracking heartbreak in a smoky room. The fact that artists across generations and continents keep returning to his songbook speaks to something beyond nostalgia, a melodic directness that cuts through regardless of era or arrangement.
Chet Baker Re: imagined, a collection of songs recorded by a varied selection of international talent to celebrate the legacy of one of the most unique, charismatic and influential figures in the history of jazz. Released to mark the 70th anniversary of seminal album Chet Baker Sings, the 15-track compilation presents modern reworkings of the trumpeter and singer's repertoire and underscores the enduring influence of one of 20th century music's most creative artists.
