The Life and Music of Chet Baker

Doors 6.30pm music starts at 8pm

This show features trumpet player Chet Baker’s beautiful music, recalling the smoky jazz clubs of 1950s West Coast cool. Chet’s romantic music belied a tragic, heroin-fuelled existence. His intriguing story epitomises that of the classic jazz musician. Running through the fantastic music is a narrative that actress Sylvia Syms helped develop. The story that unfolds engages with all audiences whether jazz fans or not and generates discussions and sparks interest. The show has been a sell-out each time it’s appeared at Ronnie Scott’s.

“I kid you not, you closed your eyes, you were listening to Chet Baker. A remarkable young woman”

Richard Wheatley, Jazz FM
