About this album
Chet Baker Sings is a landmark of cool jazz because it turned Chet Baker’s fragile, intimate voice into the centre of his art. Recorded in 1956, the album finds the trumpeter interpreting standards with an understated phrasing that made vulnerability feel elegant and modern. Best known for songs such as My Funny Valentine and I Fall in Love Too Easily, it helped define Baker’s public image and became one of the most enduring vocal jazz albums of the 1950s. Its gentle swing, restrained accompaniment and emotional directness have kept it a touchstone for later singers and listeners alike.
