Chet Baker was the original “man with a horn” archetype: quiet, introverted, and astoundingly brilliant. Highly influential as a vocalist as well as a trumpet player, Chet had seminal musical partnerships with Charlie Parker and Gerry Mulligan, and he was one of the main creative forces in the development of West Coast cool jazz. Trumpeter Erik Jekabson has been turning heads all over the jazz world with his astonishing facility, brilliant improvisations, and beautiful sound. Erik pays tribute to Chet Baker’s trumpet genius in this very special show, while Smith Dobson V tips his hat to Chet’s plaintive, intimate vocal style.
