Chet is Back

In 1962, the master trumpeter Chet Baker recorded his beloved sessions at the RCA Studios in Rome, Italy.

The unique chemistry between the sextet is present throughout the album, which features interpretations of standards by Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins. For decades, critics have mentioned the album for its unique classic status, which all jazz aficionados should experience.
