WAXTIME CLEAR VINYL COLLECTION

• THE COMPLETE ALBUM
• 180-GRAM LP
• LIMITED EDITION

The complementing talents of Chet Baker both as a trumpet player and as a singer are now well known, and Will MacFarland's original 10-inch album's liner notes, on which he compared Chet with Louis Armstrong, still seem quite appropriate. Both his trumpet and voice seem to be extensions of the same musical personality, and once you've become familiar with both facets of Baker, you expect to hear them both.

However, this album was a revelation at the time and won Baker new fame and a new audience, which was less familiar jazz than with pop music.
