• This release contains all of Baker’s earliest sessions as a vocalist, taken from 5 Los Angeles studio dates between October 1953 and July 1956. Released originally on Pacific Jazz as “Chet Baker Sings” and “Chet Baker Sings And Plays”, these sessions include Baker’s debut recorded versions of trademark songs like ‘My Funny Valentine’, ‘You Don’t Know What Love Is’ and’ Let’s Get Lost’.

• These sets showcase the delightful innocence of Baker’s vocal sound during his early twenties, prior to the intense physical & emotional wear and tear caused by his long term drug habit.

• Featured musicians include : Russ Freeman, Carson Smith, Joe Mondragon, Jimmy Bond, Bob Neel, Shelly Manne, Peter Littman, & Lawrence Marable. This Phoenix edition replaces the previous Gambit issue.

• The CD’s final four songs – included here as bonus tracks – feature Baker and Freeman in a quartet setting with an overdubbed string section that also boasted flautist Bud Shank and harpist Corky Hale.
