Cool, sentimental und voller Sehnsucht - dass die Musik von Chet Baker zeitlos ist, beweist ihre ungebrochene, immer wieder neue Popularität. Seine instrumentalen Aufnahmen zählen zu den Klassikern des Jazz,
aber spätestens als Sänger wurde der Trompeter auch zur Pop-Ikone.
Vor 70 Jahren erschien sein berühmtes Album “Chet Baker Sings”, das heute noch Bestseller ist und
dessen Einfluss auch in der Pop-Musik zu spüren ist. Die Macher der erfolgreichen Albumprojekte “Blue
Note Re:imagined” hat das auf eine Idee gebracht.
„Chet Baker Re:Imagined“ ist jetzt das erste Tributealbum, das Chet Bakers musikalisches Erbe feiert.
Junge Künstler der aktuellen akustischen und elektronischen Musikszene kommen auf dem Album zusammen, um ihre Versionen von Baker-Klassikern zu präsentieren.
Viele der auf „Chet Baker Re:Imagined“ vertretenen Musiker und Musikerinnen haben sich auf digitalen
Plattformen bereits ein großes Publikum erarbeitet (20 Million combined audience). Mit diesem Projekt
beweisen sie sich mit mal lässigen, mal melancholischen Tracks als Chet-Baker-Fans. Die internationale
Bandbreite geht von UK (dodie, Matt Maltese Matilda Mann, Joel Culpepper, Ife Ogunjobi vom Ezra Collective, Hohnen Ford, Eloise, Puma Blue), über USA (Delaney Bailey, mxmtoon), Kanada (Stacey Ryan),
die Niederlande (Benny Sings) und Australien (grentperez) bis hin zu Südkorea (Sara Kang)

Although Chet Baker and Bill Evans were both highly lyrical and introspective players who could have made a fabulous partnership, they only ever recorded together on a couple or so occasions. By the time the recordings here were made, Chet Baker had been a star for less than a decade and this wholly instrumental album presents him accompanied by other great jazz stars with whom he would also rarely play and record with again.
"Chet Baker's penultimate session for Riverside produced an all-star lineup to support him, including jazz heavyweights Pepper Adams, Bill Evans, and Kenny Burrell. Each of them makes important contributions to the session. A good place to hear Baker's special way with the horn is made even more attractive with the presence and contributions of top jazz artists." - ***** Dave Nathan, AllMusic

Recorded in 1958, this album showcases Chet Baker’s undeniable charm as both a singer and trumpeter, embodying the essence of cool jazz. Accompanied by an elegant trio featuring Kenny Drew on piano, George Morrow on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums, Baker revisits standards with disarming grace. His soft, melancholic voice shines on tracks like “Do It the Hard Way” and “Everything Happens to Me,” where each note feels suspended in time. His airy trumpet subtly converses with Drew’s piano, creating moments of pure musical poetry. A must-listen for fans of intimate and refined jazz.

Somewhat of an oddity in Chet Baker’s catalogue, Blood, Chet & Tears is a record of Chet’s efforts to adapt to the changing musical landscape around him in 1970. Baker leans into light and easy-listening territory. His renditions of the Beatles’ “Something” and The Archies’ “Sugar, Sugar” gives some indication as to who he was intending to appeal to. On a different note, Baker’s rendition of “Come Saturday Morning”, a song that received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song, is moving and highlights his unique vocal approach.

Chet Baker spielt und singt Rock-Songs der späten 60er Jahre! Als Verve dieses Album 1970 veröffentlichte,
waren die Jazz-Kritiker „not amused“: „Evil Ways“ von Santana, „Spinning Wheel“ von Blood, Sweat &
Tears, „Something“ von den Beatles wollte man damals von Chet Baker nicht hören. Heute kann man
diese Aufnahmen mit einer groovenden Bigband aus exquisiten LA-Musikern nicht nur als Kuriosität im
Katalog der Jazzlegende hören, sondern auch als hippes Kleinod aus einer Zeit des musikalischen Umbruchs.

American trumpeter Chet Baker was a major innovator in cool jazz, leading him to be nicknamed “the prince of cool”. He earned much attention and praise through the Fifties, partic- ularly for albums featuring his vocals. This included his 1954 album Chet Baker Sings and its follow-up Chet Baker Sings Again in 1985. The latter he released on the Dutch jazz label Timeless Records. He recorded the album with bassist Ricardo Del Fra, drummer John Engels and pianist Michel Graillier.

Mr. B is the album recorded in 1983 by Chet Baker and is considered one of the best from that period. Baker plays compositions from “Dolphin Dance” (Herbie Hancock), “Strollin” (Horace Silver) and “In Your Own Sweet Way” (Dave Brubeck). The sadness of the songs is felt throughout, in a lazy sometimes slow and sluggish tempo. The album includes two bonus tracks “White Blues” and “Father X-mas” and band members include Michel Graillier (piano) and Ricardo Del Fra (bass).
Mr. B is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on translucent red coloured vinyl. The album sleeve contains liner notes by Wim van Eyle.
