Sings – Chet Baker

Deluxe CD digipack edition – includes specially prepared liner notes by renowned jazz writer Brian Morton. The unforgettable Chet Baker Sings 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. This album was initially issued in 1954 as a 10-inch Long Play containing eight songs. It’s success soon led to it being reissued as a 12″ LP, with the addition of material from later 1956 sessions. This edition presents all of the songs from the 12″ LP plus several other vocal tracks from the same period.
