CHET BAKER SINGS is a 1957 Mono LP release on the World Pacific label # PJ-1222.
As Gerald Heard's liner notes point out, it's difficult to decide whether Chet Baker was a trumpet player who sang or a singer who played trumpet. When the 24-year-old California-based trumpeter started his vocal career in 1954, his singing was revolutionary; as delicate and clear as his trumpet playing, with a similarly bright and vibrato-free tone, Baker simply didn't sound like any previous jazz singer. His first vocal session, recorded in February 1954 and covering tracks seven through 14 of this disc, is so innocent-sounding it's like cub reporter Jimmy Olsen had started a new career as a jazz singer. The album's first six tracks, recorded in July 1956, contain material like Frank Loesser's "I've Never Been in Love Before" and Donaldson/Kahn's "My Buddy." Choices from the earlier session include "My Funny Valentine" -- arguably the definitive version of this oft-recorded song -- and "There Will Never Be Another You." The spacious musical setting, a simple trumpet and piano-bass-drums rhythm section, is perfect for Baker's low-key style. Chet Baker Sings is a classic of West Coast cool jazz.
The jacket shows wear on the corners, has an 8" split on the top edge; a 4" split on the bottom edge & a store price sticker on the back. The record is in VG+ condition. High bidder agrees to pay $4.00 shipping in the U.S.
