180 Gram Double LP! Featuring "Let's Get Lost", "My Funny Valentine", "Autumn In New York", "Why Shouldn't I?" & Many More!!
Cool jazz trumpeter and singer Chet Baker was born in Oklahoma in 1929. He is best known for the tracks "My Funny Valentine" and "Let's Get Lost" from the Chet Baker Sings album from 1952.
After leaving the army Baker worked with a variety of artists including Vido Musso, Stan Getz and Charlie Parker, but he found his greatest, if shortlived, success with the Gerry Mulligan Quartet. The recordings the group made at that time were highly critically acclaimed, and the band had a hit with the track "My Funny Valentine".
"When the clean-cut young Baker came out of the army in 1952 and played his first high-profile gigs with Charlie Parker, he had the kind of matinee-idol looks that suggested he would become a star. His clear-toned vibratoless trumpet style owed a lot to Miles Davis, but the introverted phrasing was all his own, as was Baker's surprisingly delicate singing voice." - BBC
"Mr. Baker was known for his gentle, pensive trumpet playing - the epitome of West Coast 'cool jazz'." - Jon Pareles, New York Times
