Chet Baker

MINI-LP PAPERSLEEVE - GATEFOLD REPLICAS WITH OBI

The music on this CD put Chet Baker on the scene not just as a brilliant trumpeter, but also as a talented singer. The original 10” LP Chet Baker Sings (Pacific Jazz JLP-11) was a revelation at the time and won Baker new fame and a new audience, which was more familiar with pop music than jazz. The reasons are quite clear: Chet's voice is tender and beautiful, and at the same time his phrasing always swings and surprises. This issue follows the artwork of a rare early LP reedition.
