Soul Tracks - Se.4, Ep.3 “Chet Baker & the Birth of Cool Jazz”
Soul Tracks’ Matt takes a deep dive into the early years of one of jazz’s most iconic players: singer, trumpet player and matinee idol, Chet Baker. Taking in Chet’s early influences from the jazz scene of the 1940s, Soul Tracks then maps out Chet’s journey from a sideman to star, and also looks at how his music influenced others.
