Chet Baker – Chet Is Back! – Vinyl LP

High Quality, Insert, Coloured Vinyl, Reissue, Limited Edition

Chet Is back! is the 1962 studio album by the undisputed master of the trumpet, Chet Baker. The album was recorded in Rome, Italy at RCA’s studios. Chet is backed by a group of then up-and-coming European jazz musicians, which included Belgian saxophonist Bobby Jaspar, Belgian guitarist Rene Thomas, Italian pianist Amedeo Tommasi, French bassist Benoit Quersin, and Swiss drummer Daniel Humair

Chet Is Back! features compositions by Chet’s contemporaries, like Thelonious Monk’s “Well, You Needn’t”, Charlie Parker’s “Barbados” and Sonny Rollins’ “Pent Up House”. The album also includes an original composition by Amedeo Tommasi entitled “Ballata in forma di blues”. Although Chet’s sweet and tragic vocals are not featured on this album, his soaring and lyrical trumpet playing makes up for it.

Chet Is Back! is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on orange vinyl and includes an insert.
