CHET BAKER
– Chet Baker Sings: It Could Happen To You
[w/ 2 Bonus Tracks]
LP – Limited Edition 180g Orange Vinyl
(Contains new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide To Jazz’s writer Brian Morton and by Paris’ prestigious Jazz Magazine.)
“Brilliant song selection. This is an essential title in Chet Baker’s 30-plus year canon.” – Lindsay Planer, AllMusic
Chet Baker’s 1958 recording session debut for Riverside Records, which resulted in the album release (Chet Baker Sings) It Could Happen To You, offers a modern, hipper take on standards like “Old Devil Moon,” “You’re Driving Me Crazy,” and “How Long Has This Been Going On?” Chet Baker Sings is unique in that the nimble artist sets aside his trumpet in several of the tracks, using only his vocals—and even scatting some of the improvised solos in a style that sounds very much like his lyrical trumpet playing.
