Description
180g vinyl LP in gatefold packaging. Chet Baker's playing and singing were original, compelling, and unforgettable. "My Funny Valentine" shows exactly that along with this photo on the cover shot during the recordings of the Chet Baker Sings Session in Los Angeles, March 7th, 1955. On the inside another shot, this time with Russ Freeman during a further recording session in October 27th, 1953, while singing 'The Thrill is Gone'.
The photographs of William Claxton define the essence of cool - his stunningly intimate images of icons like Chet Baker combine technical innovation and an unerring sense of the moment to forge a singular aesthetic he defined as 'jazz for the eyes' - Jason Ankeny, AllMusic
