At his peak, Chet Baker's playing and singing were original, compelling and unforgettable; his voice had an innocent, intriguing quality and surprising range, while his trumpet work was equally as striking and melodically stunning. These 14 cuts were done 40 years ago, as Baker turned heads on both coasts. They're presented here in vivid clarity and quality, a reminder of Chet Baker's genuine greatness. |
