Chet Baker Sextet - Chet Is Back! LP

Chet Is Back! marks American jazz trumpet legend Chet Baker’s return with a vibrant sextet session recorded in Rome, 1962, shortly after his release from prison. Accompanied by top European players — including pianist Nicola Arigliano and tenor saxophonist Glauco Masetti — Baker delivers a captivating mix of lyrical ballads and swinging hard bop numbers.

Highlights include beautifully restrained takes on standards like “Let’s Get Lost” and “Pent-Up House,” showcasing Baker’s signature understated tone and introspective phrasing. This edition is carefully remastered and pressed on high-quality 180?g black vinyl, faithfully reproducing the intimacy and warmth of the original studio sessions.
