Cool Jazz (2CD SET)

Artist: Chet Baker
Format: 2CD
Bar-code: 5060143493126
Cat No: NOT2CD312

£5.99

Within the jazz world – and, indeed, for a brief period outside of it – the name Chet Baker became synonymous with everything regarded as ‘cool’ when related to music during the Fifties. Chet was handsome, his trumpet-playing evinced a sophisticated, often delicate approach and his singing, mainly due to a limited range, could never be described as anything but laid-back. For a brief moment, the star that was Chet Baker shone brightly upon us but remained in the heavens for too short a time. Treasure this set from a twinkling talent.
