PLUS BONUS DIGIPACK INCLUDED INSIDE: Containing the complete album Chet Baker Sings plus 10 bonus tracks Including updated liner notes Chet Baker was celebrated both as a trumpet player and as a singer. In his original liner notes to the initial 10" LP version of Chet Baker Sings, Will MacFarland compared Chet to Louis Armstrong; a comparison which still rings true today. Both his 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. The reasons are quite clear: Chet's voice is tender and beautiful, and at the same time his phrasing always swings and surprises. Initially issued as a 10" Long Play containing eight songs, the success of the album soon led to it being reissued as a 12" LP with the addition of material from later sessions.
