Recorded in Los Angeles in 1970, Blood, Chet And Tears represents a fascinating chapter in Chet Baker's storied career, capturing the legendary jazz trumpeter and vocalist as he ventured into more accessible, pop-influenced territory. The album finds Baker putting his signature lyrical touch on a diverse range of material, including the Beatles' "Something," The Archies' "Sugar, Sugar," and "Come Saturday Morning," an Oscar-nominated song that showcases his uniquely intimate vocal style.
Part of the prestigious Verve By Request Series, this release brings a beloved and somewhat unconventional entry in Baker's catalog back to life on 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man Records in Detroit. Whether you're a longtime admirer of Chet Baker or a collector drawn to the era when jazz and pop worlds collided, Blood, Chet And Tears is a compelling listen that highlights an artist unafraid to step outside his comfort zone.
