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.
