Cool, sentimental, sehnsuchtsvoll. Dass die Musik von Chet Baker zeitlos ist, beweist ihre ungebrochene Popularität. Seine instrumentalen Aufnahmen zählen zu den Klassikern des Bebop und Modern Jazz, aber spätestens als Sänger wurde der Trompeter mit dem tragischen Lebenslauf auch zur Pop-Ikone.

Vor unglaublichen 70 Jahren erschien sein berühmtes Album “Chet Baker Sings”, das heute noch Bestseller weit über den Jazz hinaus ist und dessen Einfluss auch in der Pop-Musik zu spüren ist. Die Macher des erfolgreichen Albumprojektes “Blue Note Re:imagined” hat das auf eine Idee gebracht.

„Chet Baker Re:Imagined“ ist jetzt das erste Tribute-Album, das Chet Bakers musikalisches Erbe feiert. Junge Künstler der aktuellen akustischen und elektronischen Musikszene kommen auf dem Album zusammen, um ihre ganz persönlichen Versionen von Baker-Klassikern zu präsentieren.

Die auf „Chet Baker Re:Imagined“ vertretenen Musiker und Musikerinnen stammen aus UK (dodie, Matt Maltese  Matilda Mann, Joel Culpepper, Ife Ogunjobi, Hohnen Ford, Eloise, Puma Blue), USA (Delaney Bailey, mxmtoon), Kanada (Stacey Ryan), den Niederlanden (Benny Sings), Australien (grentperez) und Südkorea (Sara Kang).

The southeast Londoner not only cites D’Angelo and Radiohead but also Chet Baker and bossa nova as his influences.
