BUILDING ON JANUARY 2025 EP ‘CHET BAKER REIMAGINED’.

Ornithology returns with a new official remix from the late jazz icon, entitled ‘Milestones’ with Roger Rosenberg on the saxophone, via Nettwerk, teams up with good friend and fellow producer Hubie to rework the recovered 1978 jazz recording, lofi-style. Ornithology is the moniker of 22-year-old wunderkind Shaan Chhadva (aka SCayos), a vocalist, producer, multi-instrumentalist and composer who makes music under five different aliases. Born and raised in Mumbai, came to the US as a teenager to attend Berklee College, and relocated to LA after graduating. His creativity has always pulled him in many different directions, hence the many monikers. Recently, Shaan’s Ornithology alias got the opportunity of a lifetime: a chance to officially remix a collection of songs from the late jazz icon Chet Baker. Each track is taken from Baker‘s project ‘Love For Sale – Live At The Rising Sun Celebrity Club’, recorded in 1978 in Montreal, a decade before his death. Tragically, the beloved jazz club burnt down in 1990, destroying dozens of priceless recordings, but by some miracle, this record was found stored in an old defunct freezer amid the ruins and was eventually released via Justin Time Records. Years later, the project was shared with Shaan to remix, who was thrilled. While Baker is no longer with us, Shaan was able to share his ‘Milestones’ remix with Roger Rosenberg, now 72, who enjoyed it so much that he’s agreed to help develop a music video for the new version, 47 years after playing sax on the original track. Rosenberg has played with legends such as Quincy Jones, Miles Davis and Tito Puente, and is currently a touring member of Steely Dan.
