Free Music Review: Chet Baker plays the trumpet and sings for lovers!
Hit: 5 Stars

Although some Chet Baker fans will say that he was doing some of his best work toward the end of his life (in the 1980s), I believe that this CD demonstrates that Chet wasn't exactly doing badly during this period, either! These songs were recorded between 1953 and 1956 when Chet was very popular and his voice was nearly flawless. He sings in a singularly beautiful voice because it is masculine yet soft, approachable and displaying vulnerability. Chet also plays the trumpet on these tracks very well.

The musical arrangements are very well done. There is the instrumental track "Isn't It Romantic?" and the trumpet solos on other tracks are terrific! He was a natural. Chet is accompanied by Russ Freeman on piano for most of this CD, except for "Sweet Lorraine" when Pete Jolly plays piano. Bud Shank does a great job on flute at the beginning of "Someone To Watch Over Me" as well.

The cover photo is of Chet and a woman in black and white. There are musical credits but no lyrics. The absence of lyrics won't be a problem here, however, since Chet sings very clearly. You won't have any trouble figuring out what he's singing!

I highly recommend this CD for fans of jazz, vocal jazz and any music that highlights the trumpet playing as Chet does so well here. A fine work of art!
