Description

Recorded in August 1958 in Reeves Sound Studios in New York City and released in October of that year. It is considered by most experts to be an "essential" jazz recording. It follows a formula similar to two other Baker albums, Chet Baker Sings (1956) and Chet Baker Sings and Plays with Bud Shank, Russ Freeman & Strings (recorded in 1955, released in 1964) in which he updates existing standards in a hipper, jazzier fashion. Unlike the aforementioned records, on It Could Happen to You, on a few tracks, Baker plays no trumpet whatsoever, opting to scat in place of an instrumental solo. The band: Chet Baker - vocals, trumpet, Kenny Drew - piano, George Morrow (#1-2, 5, 7-8, 14), Sam Jones (#3-4, 6, 9-13) - bass, Philly Joe Jones (#1-2, 5-8, 10-14), Dannie Richmond (#3-4, 9) - drums
Track list: 1. "Do It the Hard Way"
2. "I'm Old Fashioned"
3. "You're Driving Me Crazy"
4. "It Could Happen to You"
5. "My Heart Stood Still"
6. "The More I See You"
7. "Everything Happens to Me"
8. "Dancing on the Ceiling"
9. "How Long Has This Been Going On?"
10. "Old Devil Moon"
