Both Chet’s 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reasons are quite clear: Chet’s voice is tender and beautiful, and at the same time his phrasing always swings and surprises. While Chet Baker Sings is now considered a classic and continues to be a jazz best-seller, its initial critical reception wasn’t all that good, and many renowned jazz writers disapproved of Chet’s vocals for being rough, unprofessional and non masculine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the critics’ opinions, the album never stopped selling and its popularity was such that after the initial 1954 release as a 10” LP which contained just eight tracks, it reappeared in 1956 as a 12” LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wonderful definitive edition puts together:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe original 12” LP CHET BAKER SINGS in a 180-gram virgin vinyl gatefold edition illustrated with William Claxton photos from the sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe complete CD containing the same album plus 6 bonus tracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean 80-page fully-illustrated hardcover book on which writer BRIAN MORTON explores the genesis of the iconic album.
