Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Many trumpet players sing, but as a vocal stylist Chet Baker was unique amongst them. His light, almost girlish voice was the antithesis of Louis Armstrong's throatiness, and yet it had an appeal of its own. These 20 tracks date from 1953 to 1956 and are probably the best vocals he ever recorded. For one thing, there is plenty of sensitive trumpet playing in between the vocals and also some over- dubbed trumpet obbligatos. And for another, the choice of tunes is excellent. Unlike many jazz singers Baker stays close to the melodies as written, reserving his improvising for the trumpet passages. Because of the highly individual piano playing of Russ Freeman, the rhythm section makes a huge contribution on all tracks. These tracks were made soon after Baker had made an impact on the jazz world with the Gerry Mulligan Quartet and over the years these vocals have achieved cult status. Some tracks have sometimes suffered severe editing in various reissues where the instrumental work of Bill Perkins, Jimmy Giuffre and Joe Pass was substituted for the vocals. This release presents the original performances as they were intended to be heard. --Steve Voce

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the all-time special things in civilization... 29 Aug 2007
By John-Paul May
Format:Audio CD
This is of the things that defines the emotional and artistic scope of human beings...

If you're lucky enough to have not yet discovered Chet Baker, enjoy. The documentary film "Let's Get Lost" is a nice place to start, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars shivers just to think about it 22 Jan 2008
By G. Abeille
Format:Audio CD
This album is a must in any real music lover collection
the emotion it reveals is one of the most sensitive I've ever heard
I even think that it's as cool as miles and coltrane kind of blue

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the silver lining when a cloud appears from the blue 17 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This album has a beauty which surpasses any other music which I have ever heard. This is my favourite album of all time (2nd: OK Computer, 3rd: Definitely Maybe). It is difficult to explain the effect which it has on my wife when she feels blue. If only I could sing a song of love, but not for me.
