In Remembering Chet — Songs & Stories of Chet Baker, acclaimed Chicago vocalist Petra van Nuis joins pianist Dennis Luxion, who toured Europe with Baker as a young musician, to celebrate the music and legacy of this iconic artist.
Through personal stories and unforgettable songs associated with Baker, the group explores the sound and spirit of an era.
