Description
Classic Chet Baker LP pressed on 180g purple vinyl. Chet Baker returned to the United States in early 1956 after a long European tour. Although the tour was successful in making Chet a better known figure in the Old Continent, it also included some experiences that would mark him for life. The most important of these was the death of his quartet's pianist Dick Twardzik from a heroin overdose at the age of 24. This fact would affect Chet's personality and accelerate his own addiction. It Could Happen to You, recorded a couple of years after Chet's return to the United States, was his second album completely devoted to his vocals (the first, titled Chet Baker Sings, had been made in 1953 and 1956 with arrangements and piano accompaniment by Russ Freeman).
Description
It follows a formula similar to two other Baker albums, "Chet Baker Sings" (1954) and "Chet Baker Sings and Plays with Bud Shank, Russ Freeman & Strings" (recorded in 1955, released in 1964) in which he sings traditional pop standards in a jazzy fashion. Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker, Jr., known for his lyrical and intimate style and for having been among the main exponents of genre known as cool jazz, confirmed in this recording as one of most important musician (and singer) of the jazz.
This release is part of the New Ermitage collection available from January 2024: 18 jazz and soul titles reissued on yellow vinyl with new codes and renewed graphics.
