Product Details
West Coast cool jazz found one of its most haunting voices in Chet Baker, whose fragile trumpet tone and conversational phrasing set him apart from nearly every other player of his generation. Baker's singing carried the same quality, intimate and slightly bruised, which made his ballads feel less like performances than confessions. A solid entry point for anyone just discovering how deep that melancholy runs.
Features such classics as "My Funny Valentine," "Love Nest," and "The Thrill Is Gone."
