Chet's voice is tender and beautiful, and at the same time his phrasing always swings and surprises. Initially issued as a 10- inch Long Play containing eight songs, the success of this album led to it being reissued adding songs of other later sessions.
This vinyl album featuring tracks cut during Chet Baker's peak years, illustrates the intricate melodies which transcended jazz boundaries and distinguished Baker as a unique force in the jazz world.
Nina's second LP, originally released in 1959, ranges from a swinging 'Stompin' at the Savory' and an emotional 'It Might As Well Be Spring' to an English folk ballad 'Tomorrow', spirituals, and an R&B song 'You've Been Gone Too Long'.
This set combines some fiery instrumentals along with some of Chet Baker's best vocals- among them the Rodgers & Hart song "My Funny Valentine", which would become a theme song for Baker over the course of his extended career.
