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.
Featuring an array of international artists spanning R&B, pop, soul and jazz. British artists dodie, Matt Maltese, Matilda Mann, Joel Culpepper, Ife Ogunjobi, Hohnen Ford, Eloise and Puma Blue line up alongside Benny Sings from the Netherlands, Canada’s Stacey Ryan, American artists Delaney Bailey and Mxmtoon, South Korean Sara Kang and Australian-Filipino grentperez. These musicians, singers, songwriters and beat-makers all sit within a fast-emerging scene and together they cast Baker’s sublime melodies against a contemporary sound canvas marked by a spectrum of acoustic and electronic colours, artful, impassioned improvisation and richly layered production.
