- Very calming
Up until recently I used to have a time on a Monday afternoon where I had to sit down, concentrate and get on with some paper work. This was often my cd of choice. Instead of being in my office at work I was transported to a jazz bar in New York, relaxing and enjoying myself. That was my happy place, to help me get through the paper work. Soon people were asking me if they could borrow this cd because they also found it to be the musical version of someone stroking your head.

- Needs no introduction, it's Chet afterall....
Never really rated him as a crooner but he made that trumpet talk, laugh, cry and sing.

This album reaches new depths in moody and expressive playing.

New generation 'bad boys' take note - here's a guy who had his teeth kicked out during a mugging, (devastating for a trumpet player), came back after several years only to leave us again, this time via a hotel window whilst under the influence. Now that's bad.

If you like trumpet playing buy this - but be warned it's not Baroque. If you like smooth jazz and Chet's an old friend just come out to play again, then you'll be right at home.

Comfortable 5 stars.

- Chet Baker at his best
There's no need for anyone to blow his trumpet.Chet Baker does it with consumate grace and with a swing that does justice to the material he transforms from good to magnificent.

White Blues is littered with cool cool tracks that
tell their own tales. Here is a white player who truly understands the blues and makes a connection
with the great players and singers of the music.

His phrasing has the timing of Billy Holiday, the grace of early Miles and the drive of The Bird.

If you have only got the price of this collection in your pocket...spend the money.

White Blues is the business.

Rating:

- A remarkable album, by one of the best.
This has some great tunes. Fabulous trumpet by chet himself as well as some great double bass and drumming solos. If you like jazz, get it.
