Chet Baker - My Funny Valentine [New CD] Rmst, With Book, Spain - Import

Sold Out $9.99

Although Chet Baker had already received recognition as a brilliant trumpeter, the music presented on this CD would also earn him widespread popularity as a vocalist. These songs were a revelation at the time and gained NBaker a new audience, which was less familiar with jazz than with pop music. The reasons are quite clear: Chetâs voice is tender and beautiful, and at the same time his phrasing, with respect to both his vocals and trumpet playing, always swings and surprises. Among the various classics, this collection opens and closes with different versions of âMy Funny Valentineâ, which would become almost a theme song for Baker.
