Decca Records has announced Chet Baker Re:Imagined, a collection of songs recorded by a varied selection of international artists to celebrate one of the most influential figures in the history of Jazz. Released to mark the 70th anniversary of the album Chet Baker Sings, the 15-track compilation presents modern reworkings of the trumpeter and singer’s repertoire.
The album’s lead single, dodie’s “Old Devil Moon”, is out now. Chet Baker Re:imagined will be released via Decca Records (UK)/Blue Note Records (US) on April 11, 2025.
Chet Baker Re:Imagined features an array of international artists spanning R&B, Pop, Soul and Jazz. British artists dodie, Matt Maltese, Matilda Mann, Joel Culpepper, Ife Ogunjobi, Hohnen Ford, Eloise, Poppy Daniels and Puma Blue line up alongside Benny Sings from the Netherlands, Canada’s Stacey Ryan, American artists Delaney Bailey and Mxmtoon, South Korean Sara Kang and Australian-Filipino grentperez.
dodie says:
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.
Chet Baker Re:imagined follows the international success of the Blue Note Re:Imagined series which saw tracks from the label given the sound of the twenty first century by musicians who emerged from the London Jazz scene.
