1	My Funny Valentine [Blue Note] (1994) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist At his peak, Chet Baker's playing and singing were original, compelling, and unforgettable; his voice had an innocent, intriguing quality and surprising range, while his trumpet work was as striking and melodically stunning as anyone who's ever worked predominantly in the middle register. These 14 cuts were done in 1954 as Baker turned heads on ... see all copies from £3.43! new only from £7.19!
2	Chet Baker Quartet Featuring Russ Freeman (1997) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist Chet Baker Quartet Featuring Russ Freeman (1998) is a perfect studio companion to the Mosaic Records set Complete Pacific Jazz Live Recordings of Chet Baker With Russ Freeman (1988). As was the custom for jazz platters of the time, both Baker and Freeman are joined by a different combo on each date. The luminaries include Bobby Whitlock (bass), ... see all copies from £8.44! new only from £8.44!
3	Chet Baker Sings (1956) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist As Gerald Heard's liner notes point out, it's difficult to decide whether Chet Baker was a trumpet player who sang or a singer who played trumpet. When the 24-year-old California-based trumpeter started his vocal career in 1954, his singing was revolutionary; as delicate and clear as his trumpet playing, with a similarly bright and vibrato-free ... see all copies from £7.77! new only from £7.77!
4	Songs for Lovers (1997) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist Although it is not obvious from the cover of this 1997 CD, all 12 selections from Chet Baker's Pacific Jazz period are currently available elsewhere (although a few are only on Mosaic limited-edition box sets). The material is almost random and is not programmed in chronological order. Baker takes vocals on five numbers, including three from a ... see all copies from £3.58! new only from £7.77!
5	Pure Jazz [Polygram] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Though it's part of the Pure series, Verve's Pure Jazz almost seems more as part of the Ken Burns Jazz multi-disc series, especially since it was released during that documentary's airing on PBS. Any of the tie-in discs to Ken Burns Jazz were designed to give an overview, either of an artist or an entire jazz style, while Pure Jazz is designed to ... see all copies from £3.34! new only from £6.83!
6	Embraceable You (1957) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist A ballad collection that emphasizes Chet Baker's troubled-romantic vocal style, it's not too surprising that these 1957 recordings remained in the vaults for almost 40 years. For one thing, Baker's delicate tenor, having won the hearts of thousands of teenage fans, was considered somewhat of a novelty to most critics. For another, his guitar-and ... see all copies from £4.98! new only from £8.05!
7	Chet Baker Plays the Best of Lerner and Loewe (1959) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist This is one of the last Chet Baker (trumpet) long players recorded in the States prior to the artist relocating to Europe in the early '60s. Likewise, the eight-tune collection was the final effort issued during his brief association with the Riverside Records imprint. The project was undoubtedly spurred on by the overwhelming success of the ... see all copies from £6.32! new only from £8.34!
8	Playing by Heart (2000) more music like this by John Barry/Chris Botti/Chet Baker add to wishlist In his 1996 review of the indie film Caught, movie critic Rex Reed paid the ultimate compliment to trumpeter Chris Botti -- who wrote the score and whose horn graced the soundtrack -- by comparing the young upstart's smoky style to that of a young Chet Baker. Botti has since gone on to great success in smooth jazz by combining a laid-back demeanor ... see all copies from £5.59! new only from £8.97!
9	Chet Baker & Crew (1956) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist The numbers heard on Chet Baker & Crew were among a prolific flurry of recordings Baker was involved in during the last week of July 1956 -- fresh from an extended European stay. Sessions were held every day from the 23rd through the 31st, which resulted in such classic titles as The Route, Chet Baker Sings, and Chet Baker Quintet at the Forum -- ... see all copies from £7.19! new only from £7.19!
10	Chet Baker in New York (1958) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist Chet Baker's West Coast cool comes to the Big Apple on Chet Baker in New York. The project would be Baker's first -- in a four album deal -- with the Big Apple-based Riverside Records. The bicoastal artist incorporates his decidedly undernourished sound and laid-back phrasing into the styling of Al Haig (piano), Johnny Griffin (tenor sax), Paul ... see all copies from £8.37! new only from £8.37!
11	Chet [Keepnews Collection] (1959) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist Chet Baker was to record only one more album after this one for the Riverside label before starting down the road to those many other labels he was to visit during the rest of his career. It is somewhat ironic that one of the major figures in West Coast jazz would record for a label that played a leading role in the propagation of East Coast jazz. ... see all copies from £7.57! new only from £7.57!
12	The Best of Chet Baker Sings (1989) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist To much of the pop (as opposed to the jazz) audience, Chet Baker was known not as an able cool jazz trumpeter, but as a romantic balladeer. The two classifications were not mutually exclusive; Baker's vocal numbers would also feature his trumpet playing, as well as fine instrumental support from West Coast cool jazzers. For those who prefer the ... see all copies from £8.77! new only from £8.77!
13	Baby Breeze (1965) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist Although Chet Baker's recordings from late in his life varied dramatically in quality, this series of studio sessions is a high point in his career. After having his trumpet stolen, he plays beautifully with a borrowed flügelhorn throughout most of these songs with a powerful tone, especially on "Baby Breeze" and Hal Galper's intense "This Is the ... see all copies from £4.43! new only from £10.43!
14	In Paris: Barclay Sessions 1955-1956 (2000) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist see all copies from £9.67! new only from £9.67!
15	The Best of Chet Baker [Riverside Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist The Chet Baker volume in Fantasy's Best Of series covers only a relatively tiny portion of his lifespan, yet it does capture the self-destructive trumpeter/singer at two crucial times -- when the jazz world was his oyster, and during one of his many attempts to regain his old appeal. Orrin Keepnews, the co-head of the Riverside operation, selects ... see all copies from £8.32! new only from £8.32!
16	Classic Jazz [Sony] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £8.41! new only from £8.41!
17	Cool Jazz for Hot Nights [Candid] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Cool Jazz for Hot Nights features classic and contemporary jazz songs, including Irene Kral's "I Like You, You're Nice," Sheldon Powell's "Blue and Sentimental," Chet Baker's "Time After Time," and Dizzy Gillespie's "They Can't Take That Away From Me." Buddy Greco, Buddy Childers, Stacey Kent, and Nancy Harrow are some of the other artists on this ... see all copies from £10.84! new only from £10.84!
18	Zen and the Art of Chilling, Vol. 2 (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £6.85! new only from £6.85!
19	Heart Beats: Sirens of Song - Classic Torch (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Rhino's Sirens of Song: Classic Torch Singers is an excellent collection of late-night, lovelorn vocals by some of the best singers of the century -- and yes, all of them are female, since a strict definition of torch singing (not to mention sirens) excludes males. The collection leads off with "Cry Me a River" by Julie London, the prototypical ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £7.13!
20	Songs of Elvis Costello: Bespoke Songs, Lost Dogs, Detours & Rendezvous (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Elvis Costello has always been one of the most prolific songwriters in pop, writing a considerable number of songs that have never appeared on his official albums. Some were released as B-sides, some sat in the vault -- and some were handed to other artists. The Songs of Elvis Costello: Bespoke Songs, Lost Dogs, Detours & Rendezvous compiles 20 of ... see all copies from £4.58!
21	Pure Cool (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Blue Note's Pure Cool compilation delivers just what the title promises: a collection of tracks from the legendary jazz label's coolest artists, including Kenny Burrell, Charlie Hunter, Earl Klugh, and Stanley Turrentine. Miles Davis' "It Never Entered My Mind," John Coltrane's "I'm Old Fashioned," Julie London's "Cry Me a River," and June Christy ... see all copies from £5.92!
22	Carnegie Hall Concert (1974) more music like this by Gerry Mulligan/Chet Baker add to wishlist At this 1974 concert baritonist Gerry Mulligan and trumpeter Chet Baker had one of their very rare reunions; it would be only the second and final time that they recorded together after Mulligan's original quartet broke up in 1953. Oddly enough, a fairly contemporary rhythm section was used (keyboardist Bob James, vibraphonist Dave Samuels, ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.46!
23	Chet for Lovers (2003) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist Verve's Chet for Lovers compiles many of the iconic jazz trumpeter's most romantic sides recorded for such labels as Pacific Jazz and EmArcy during the '50s. While there are many more comprehensive collections detailing the career of the gifted yet troubled Baker, Verve does a nice job of focusing in on some lesser known cuts that spotlight the ... see all copies from £4.18! new only from £7.54!
24	Jazz 'Round Midnight (1990) more music like this by Chet Baker add to wishlist see all copies from £3.39! new only from £10.39!
25	Complete 1953 the Haig Performances (2003) more music like this by Lee Konitz/Chet Baker/Gerry Mulligan add to wishlist This is a by-the-numbers run through of 21 jazz standards played in three different club sessions in Los Angeles. The flavor is typical laid-back West Coast style with Lee Konitz and Gerry Mulligan, and Chet Baker. The rhythm sections were slightly more interesting: the first and third gigs included bassist Carson Smith and drummer Larry Bunker, ... see all copies from £4.86! new only from £9.13!
