Recorded in 1962 at the RCA Studios in Rome, Chet Is Back! captures the legendary trumpeter in one of his most inspired European sessions. Joined by an exceptional sextet including Belgian saxophonist Bobby Jaspar, Baker delivers a set of modern jazz standards with lyrical phrasing, warm tone and effortless cool.

Interpreting works by Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins, the album showcases Baker’s melodic sensitivity and the group’s tight, intuitive interplay. Long praised for its classic status, this edition presents the album with premium audiophile care. Pressed on 180‑gram orange vinyl, individually numbered and housed in a deluxe linen‑laminated sleeve, it includes an insert and offers a beautifully restored listening experience.
