Matt Maltese unveils cover of "My Funny Valentine" for Chet Baker Re:imagined

The release is a collection of songs recorded by a varied selection of artists to celebrate the legacy of one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz, celebrating the 70th anniversary of the seminal album Chet Baker Sings.

“Chet Baker was of course a very large influence growing up," says Matt Maltese. "A masterful vocalist who taught me how to sing gently and like I mean it. No one should really cover the song I’ve covered, but I hope it can be received as an ode to the greatest to have done it."

Chet Baker Re:Imagined features an array of international artists spanning R&B, pop, soul and jazz. British artists dodie, Matt Maltese, Matilda Mann, Joel Culpepper, Ife Ogunjobi of Ezra Collective, Hohnen Ford, Eloise, Poppy Daniels and Puma Blue line up alongside Benny Sings from the Netherlands, Canada’s Stacey Ryan, American artists Delaney Bailey and Mxmtoon, South Korean Sara Kang and Australian-Filipino grentperez.
