A host of international artists will contribute to a new Chet Baker tribute.

The project is being helmed by Decca Records, who aim to celebrate 70 years since the release of ‘Chet Baker Sings’, a seminal moment in the evolution of cool jazz. An often feather-soft collection, it came to define the American artist’s approach to musicality – hugely understated, Impressionistic, and endlessly beautiful.

‘Chet Baker Re:Imagined’ boasts a riveting cast, including the likes of dodie, Matt Maltese, Puma Blue, Eloise, Benny Sings, and more.

dodie is the first out of the blocks, sharing her take on ‘Old Devil Moon’. Faithful but also distinctive, it illustrates the lasting impact of Chet’s work, while also grappling with the space within the composition to paint fresh tones.

She comments…

“How lucky am I to get to live in the world of Chet’s soft playful croons for this gorgeous collection? So fun to marry our styles and lean into a jazzier side. Chet Baker was my number one artist in 2023 (apparently a top 5% fan) so I was just thrilled to be asked to pick a favourite – (although that part was difficult) and spend time with his gorgeous version of Old Devil Moon and dream up how we could team up.”

Tune in now.
