Chet Baker’s Chet Baker Sings gathers sessions from 1954 and 1956 and stands as the original entry in the series. Backed by two quartet line-ups featuring pianist Russ Freeman, Baker moves between muted trumpet and understated vocals with effortless ease. Drawing on a set of standards including ‘My Funny Valentine’, ‘That Old Feeling’ and ‘I Fall In Love Too Easily’, he reshapes each into something distinctly his own. The result is a cornerstone recording that captures the fragile charm and cool precision that defined his sound.
