Chet Baker – Baker's Holiday (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Chet Baker's connection to Billie Holiday ran deeper than admiration. Both navigated genius and personal turbulence in ways that left their phrasing permanently marked by longing, and Baker's spare, vulnerable trumpet tone was perhaps the ideal instrument to honor her legacy. Hank Jones anchors the session with his characteristic elegance, making this one of the more emotionally honest tribute records of the era.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing housed in deluxe gatefold jacket. Recorded in 1965 and showcasing a number of songs he'd never recorded before; Baker's Holiday is Chet's tribute to Billie Holiday and features his instantly identifiable trumpet along with four trademark vocals. Backed by a full sax section and a four-piece rhythm section that includes pianist Hank Jones, this classic album highlights colorful Jimmy Mundy arrangements. Verve Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered.
