Chet Baker

DIGIPACK EDITION

The music on this CD put Chet Baker on the scene not just as a brilliant trumpeter, but also as a talented singer. 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.
