Chet Baker, "Chet", is the most beautiful jazz album ever made. Soulful, melancholy, and still. I am using the music on my website:

Ahhh yes...dear old Chet!

 

Every single time I had a girl over during my single years, if it moved into the bedroom, I would play some Chet Baker. Magical results.

 

Here are some of my favorite Chet Baker albums:

 

Chet Baker - Chet

 

Chet Baker - In New York

 

Chet Baker - The Route (aka Playboys) feat. Art Pepper (going out of print)

 

Chet Baker - Chet Is Back! (Out of Print - get it if you see it cheap!)

 

Chet Baker - Baker's Holiday

 

Chet Baker - Best of Chet Baker Sings

 

Chet Baker - Plays Lerner & Lowe

 

They all sound pretty darn good too!

I got My Funny Valentine by Chet and I was shocked at how simple and smooth his stuff is.  He is truly one of the greats.

I first discovered Chet Baker through the Bruce Webber film "lets get lost" at some art-house theater, half-drunk on red wine with a gaggle of friends. We were all blown away by his story, the music, and the film. I had no idea who he was before I stepped into that theater.

I only recently discovered Chet Baker upon hearing his album, Chet Is Back!  I like it a lot.  I'll look into getting more.

Dave Hickey wrote a brilliant chapter on Chet Baker in his book Air Guitar. It's highly worth checking out even if like me you are not a devotee.
