Baker, Chet

Sings (it)

Chet Baker's vocal work was as distinctive as his trumpet playing, though on debut vocal set 'Chet Baker Sings' the radicalism comes coached in a delicate and clear-toned wrapping that is innocent and vulnerable. His first vocal recordings, made in February 1954, are featured on the second half of this enticing LP, the first six songs cut in July 1956; outstanding moments include 'There Will Never Be Another You' and a rendition of 'My Funny Valentine' that Baker makes all his own, the simple drum, bass, and piano combo leaving room for Chet's voice and trumpet to alternate the spotlight. Another West Coast cool jazz classic. Comes on clear vinyl.
