Chet Baker's complementary talents as both a trumpeter and singer are well known today. Chet's trumpet and voice seem to be extensions of the same musical personality. However, “Chet Baker Sings” was a revelation at the time, bringing Baker new fame and a new audience less familiar with jazz than with pop music. The reasons are obvious: Chet's voice is delicate and beautiful, while his phrasing swings and surprises time and again. While “Chet Baker Sings” is now considered a classic and continues to be a jazz bestseller, the “experts” did not initially receive his album very well: many renowned jazz critics disapproved of Chet's singing as rough, unprofessional, and unmanly. Despite these opinions, the album never stopped selling.
As part of the extremely popular “Blue Note 85th Anniversary Reissue Series” Universal Music Japan presents the sonically impressive remastering of this jazz classic by the legendary Kevin Gray, who is also responsible for Blue Note US's analog reissues such as “Tone Poet” and “Classic Vinyl” – as a limited Japan only UHQCD with OBI stripe. The original recording sessions for “Chet Baker Sings” took place on October 27, 1953, February 15, 1954, and July 23 and 30, 1956.
