Description

In a Sentimental Mood by Chet Baker is a beautiful rendition of the classic jazz standard composed by Duke Ellington. The song is part of the album Chet on Poetry, which was released in 1989 and features Baker's trumpet and vocals accompanied by Nicola Stilo on flute, guitar, piano and synthesizer, Enzo Pietropaoli on double bass, Roberto Gatto on drums and Alfredo Minotti on percussion. The album also includes poems by Gianluca Manzi, Carla Marcotulli and Alfredo Minotti, recited by Baker in his distinctive voice.

The album is a rare gem that showcases Baker's musical and poetic sensibility, as well as his ability to create an intimate and emotional atmosphere with his sound. The song In a Sentimental Mood is a perfect example of this, as Baker plays the melody with a soft and delicate tone, while Stilo adds some subtle harmonies and embellishments on the flute. The song is a tribute to Ellington, who was one of Baker's influences and admired his style. The song also reflects Baker's own sentimental mood, as he was nearing the end of his life and career. The song is a testament to Baker's artistry and legacy, as well as a beautiful expression of his feelings.
