THE JAZZ SELECTION
CHET BAKER - CHET BAKER & STRINGS
For our jazz trumpet entry, we eschewed Dizzy and Miles, for a lighter, easier and admittedly fluffier choice. Chet’s premier collaboration with a string quintet, with more than an influence of Gershwin and Cole Porter, brings comfort and warmth to any living or working space, with Baker’s dreamy trumpet swathed in luscious film-score strings.
