Chet Baker Sings (Limited Edition)

£19.99

Why It Belongs in Your Collection

Chet Baker Sings captures one of jazz’s most recognisable voices at its most intimate: soft, romantic and fragile.

This is the album that helped define Baker’s reputation as both a vocalist and trumpeter, bringing his cool, understated style to a set of classic standards.

The Sound and the Story

This is late-night vocal jazz at its most delicate. Baker’s voice is close, unforced and quietly expressive, matched by trumpet playing that carries the same lyrical restraint.

Standout tracks include My Funny Valentine, I Fall in Love Too Easily, That Old Feeling and There Will Never Be Another You — all delivered with the intimate, after-hours mood that made this record endure.

Pressing, Condition and Care

Brand new, factory sealed copy.

Valentine Records limited edition 180g vinyl pressing with bonus track Daybreak.

Carefully selected by Taras Jazz Records. Securely packed and dispatched in proper vinyl mailers.

About This Release

Originally released by Pacific Jazz in 1954, Chet Baker Sings was Baker’s debut vocal album and remains one of the defining records in his catalogue. The album received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2001.

This Valentine Records edition presents the complete iconic LP plus a bonus track on 180g vinyl, and includes photographs taken during the album sessions by William Claxton.
