《Tribute to Chet Baker》
《爵士現場 — 向 Chet Baker 致敬》

The voice. The horn. The heart of cool.

Jazz vocalist Tom Ricci and trumpeter Leeway Cheng team up—backed by some of Taipei and Taichung’s finest jazz players: Jack Huang on piano, Refa Wang on bass, and Mark Boatman on drums—for a night of cool, classy, and emotionally rich jazz in tribute to the great Chet Baker. With a deep reverence for Chet’s signature tone, phrasing, and arrangements, they channel the spirit and intimacy of his most iconic performances—swinging where it swings, aching where it aches.

Tom Ricci began his vocal jazz journey in 2015 with the release of his original single Simply Love, and has since become an internationally touring artist with acclaimed releases spanning Jazz, Latin Jazz, and Bossa Nova. He has performed with jazz greats including Oscar Giunta, Pipi Piazzolla, Pablo Motta, and Antonio Loureiro—among many others—gracing stages from LA’s Mint Club to Philadelphia’s Chris’ Jazz Café, and sold-out shows at Shenzhen’s LAVO and Buenos Aires’ Borges 1975.
Together, they deliver a heartfelt, elegant tribute to Baker’s legacy—with the soul, subtlety, and sonic beauty it deserves.

從音色、樂句到編曲細節，團隊細膩地還原 Chet Baker 最具代表性的現場氛圍——該搖擺的地方搖擺，該心碎的地方深刻動人。

Tom Ricci 自 2015 年推出原創單曲 Simply Love 起，展開了他的爵士歌唱旅程。此後，他踏上國際舞台，發行多張備受好評的作品，涵蓋 爵士、拉丁爵士與巴薩諾瓦風格。他曾與多位國際爵士名家合作演出，包括 Oscar Giunta、Pipi Piazzolla、Pablo Motta 與 Antonio Loureiro，演出地點遍及 洛杉磯的 The Mint Club、費城的 Chris’ Jazz Café，並於 深圳 LAVO 及 布宜諾斯艾利斯 Borges 1975 舉辦售票完售的專場演出。
他們將攜手呈現一場 致敬 Chet Baker 的動人之夜，傳遞他音樂中的細膩、靈魂與永恆的魅力。
