• THE COMPLETE ORIGINAL

• CHET BAKER SINGS SESSIONS

The unforgettable Chet Baker Sings put Baker on the map not just as a brilliant trumpeter, but also as a talented vocalist. This album was a revelation at the time and won Baker new fame and a new audience, which was less familiar with jazz than with pop music.

The reasons are quite clear: Chet’s voice is tender and beautiful, and at the same time his phrasing always swings and surprises.
