Chet Baker - Late Night Jazz (2018)

Chet Baker (1926-1988) is one of the most iconic jazz musicians in history - the coolest, most laidback, soft spoken trumpeter's ever. But he had a dark side which gives his music a unique depth.

It is now 30 years since he ended his carrer by falling out of a window in Amsterdam, but right before that he had his last studio session in Paris. Here is the entire session, incl. three additional bonus tracks, previously unpublished! The project was originally a jazz & poetry project with the poet Jan Erik Vold together with Chet Baker, released under the title "Telemark Blue", but after the discovery of the three bonus tracks, it was decided to publish the complete instrumental sessions. A NEW Chet Baker album in 2018 = a sensation!

And moreover, this is Chet Baker at his absolutely best, in magial interplay with guitarist Philip Catherine, piano player Egil Kapstad and bass player Terje Venaas. A must for all Chet Baker fans!
