Chet Baker - Sings [New CD] Bonus Tracks, Spain - Import

NEW MINI-LP PAPERSLEEVE GATEFOLD REPLICAS WITH OBILIMITED EDITION CD RELEASEINCLUDES 10 BONUS TRACKSThe complementing talents of Chet Baker (1929-1988) both as a trumpet player and as a singer are now well known. In his liner notes to the original Chet Baker Sings 10-inch album, Will MacFarland noted the similarity between Chet and Louis Armstrong (with regards to their equal importance as both vocalists and instrumentalists), which still seems a reasonable comparison many years later.Both Baker’s trumpet and voice seem to be extensions of the same musical personality, and once you’ve become familiar with each one, you expect to hear them both. Initially issued as a 10- inch Long Play containing eight songs, the success of this album soon led to it being reissued on a 12-inch LP adding the results of later sessions. Two further vocal dates have been included here as a bonus.PERSONNEL:CHET BAKER, vocals & trumpetOn all tracks, plus:Collective personnel: Russ Freeman (p), Jimmy Bond, Carson Smith, Red Mitchell (b),Peter Littman, Lawrence Marable, Bob Neel, Shelly Manne (d), among others.Los Angeles, 1953-56.TRACKS:01 THAT OLD FEELING02 IT’S ALWAYS YOU03 LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE04 MY IDEAL05 I’VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE06 MY BUDDY07 BUT NOT FOR ME08 TIME AFTER TIME09 I GET ALONG WITHOUT YOU VERY WELL10 MY FUNNY VALENTINE11 THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER YOU12 THE THRILL IS GONE13 I FALL IN LOVE TOO EASILY14 LOOK FOR THE SILVER LINING15 DAYBREAK (*)16 JUST FRIENDS (*)17 I REMEMBER YOU (*)18 LET’S GET LOST (*)19 LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY (*)20 YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS (*)21 THIS IS ALWAYS (*)22 SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME (*)23 GREY DECEMBER (*)24 I WISH I KNEW (*)(*) BONUS TRACKS: Not included on the original LP.TOTAL TIME: 79:09 Min.
