Description
The complete iconic LP + bonus track on 180g vinyl, includes photographs taken during the album's sessions by William Claxton.

The jazz world was amazed when trumpeter Chet baker presented this, his first vocal album, which showed that his immense talent as a singer matched his brilliance as an instrumentalist. This icon album includes such hits as "My Funny Valentine" and "I Fall In Love Too Easily"

This album was initially issued in 1954 as a 10-inch containing eight songs. Its success soon led to it being reissued as a 12" LP, with the addition of material from later 1956 sessions. This edition presents all the songs from the 12" LP plus one bonus track from the same period.

Description
Classic Chet Baker album available as an LP picture disc, pressed on 180g vinyl.

The complementing talents of Chet Baker (1929-1988) both as a trumpet player and as a singer are now well-known and Will MacFarland's original 10-inch album liner notes, on which he compared Chet with Louis Armstrong, still seem quite appropriate. Both his trumpet and voice seem to be extensions of the same musical personality, and once you've become familiar with both facets of Baker, you expect to hear them both. However, this album was a revelation at the time and won Baker new fame and a new audience, which was less familiar with jazz than with pop music. The reasons are quite clear: Chet's voice is tender and beautiful, and at the same time his phrasing always swings and surprises. Initially issued as a 10- inch Long Play containing eight songs, the success of this album soon led to it being reissued adding the results of other later sessions.
