Is Still In My Heart" "You'll hear Chet Baker's trumpet as well as his voice on some of these songs; that's hardly startling, but it is startling to discover a voice and a horn of such quality with but a single source. Chet Baker has turned out to be a musician with such a wonderfully nice voice, it is a problem whether to speak of him as a 'trumpet player who also sings' or as a 'singer who also plays trumpet'." ~ ...             Chet1 review Chet Baker Riverside, 2007 Masterful Minimalism This is the most satisfying and, in many respects, most representative Chet Baker I've come across. No vocals, nothing even approaching bebop. It's truly bicoastal and genre-resistant music. Moreover, it doesn't have the sponginess of some later Baker sessions with electronic synths and reverb assists. These are beautiful deconstructions of familiar pieces, each slowed to a tempo-less, ...             Elegy Jose Ayala, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Lakeshore Records, 2008             In Paris: Barclay Sessions 1955-19568 reviews Chet Baker Polygram Records, 2000 BREATHTAKING MUSIC This is an astounding recording! With sound remastered as if it were recorded in the year 2001 instead of in 1956, Chet Baker and various other stellar performers made supremely beautiful music for the Barclay label. The fourteen songs collected on this CD are the best of the best. Written by the likes of the Gershwins, Rodgers & Hart, Dietz & Schwartz and others, this is a gorgeous ...             Embraceable You12 reviews Chet Baker Blue Note Records, 1995 Wow! Back from the dead! This is a very solid recording from Chet. If it had been released at the time he was winning Downbeat polls as the top trumpet player it would have probably been a best seller. But the fact that it surfaced almost 40 years later makes it all the more poignant. It's almost like he came back from the dead as the Chet Baker of the 1950s! Chet was close to the top of his game when this ...             Chet Baker in Tokyo12 reviews Chet Baker Evidence, 1996 Chet Baker in Tokyo--A Musicial Enigma Although Miles Davis' masterpiece "Kind of Blue" might be the most listened to jazz album of all time --and it deserves to be-- jazz fans should take note that "Chet Baker in Tokyo" more than holds its own as far as musical quality and inventiveness are concerned. To add to the intrigue, Miles, Bill, Coltrane, Adderley, et.al., were at their musical peaks when "Blue" was recorded. Chet, on the ...             The Last Great Concert: My Favorite Songs, Vol. 1 & 210 reviews Chet Baker Enja Justin Time, 2004 Perfect Notes and Space I've always been a fan of Chet Baker's trumpet playing and his singing, but never took the trouble to analyze his lines until this album. His solos are like perfect modern sculptures in that they don't waste notes, space, or form. Nothing is superfluous. His 2 choruses of improvisation on All Blues and on In Your Own Sweet Way show the genius of his discipline. His attack is a little more ...             Chet Baker Quartet Featuring Russ Freeman6 reviews Chet Baker, Russ Freeman Blue Note Records, 1998 A Pairing Made In Heaven! Pairing Chet Baker with Russ Freeman in the '50s resulted in some of the most gorgeous recordings of any era. Baker was an icon of the jazz world for his trumpet playing, his singing (almost sounding like a trumpet) and his incredible looks, which really stood out in the rather homely jazz world (jazz guys do not usually look like rock stars!). Russ Freeman was a fabulous pianist plus also a ...             The Best of Chet Baker Sings47 reviews Chet Baker Blue Note Records, 1989 Best of Chet Baker Sings... beautiful, romantic, perfectly executed My GOSH this is a good album. Good heavens. I had never heard of Chet Baker as of a few years ago (hey, I'm 24 now... it takes me a while to catch on to these things). Occasionally on Turner Classic Movies I would hear a lovely little tune before the morning movie-- the words were cute and the singer and accompaniment were very pleasant. I finally looked up the song online and saw it was a ...             My Funny Valentine28 reviews Chet Baker Blue Note Records, 1994 Sweet and Sultry and Simply Spectacular! This music is perfect for a rainy day curled up on the couch by the fire with your significant other by your side. It's a shame they don't make music like this anymore. My favorite of all Chet's albums and one of my all-time favorites period. His rendition of "My Funny Valentine" is my personal favorite (even trumping Sinatra's wonderful version). There is not one song that disappoints, the ...             The Majestic15 reviews Various Artists Hollywood Records, 2001 An excellent olio of music styles Do you like ethereal New Age? Gotcha covered. Does Boogie piano get your toes a-tappin'? Check. Is Swing more your thing? It's here. All fine reasons to add this sound track to your music collection. As for the movie, I like to think it Carrey's best work. The man has the most expressive face in Moviedom. Regarding the story, it's set in the early Fifties during the rabid Communist ...             Diane: Chet Baker and Paul Bley4 reviews Chet Baker with Paul Bley Steeplechase, 1994 some of the finest late-period Chet A great combination, a very fluid piano style with the emotionally naked expression by Chet. Beautifully recorded too, you hear the wonderful sound of Chet's trumpet.             Playing by Heart (1998 Film)13 reviews John Barry, Chris Botti, ... Decca, 2000 Love this music I had heard John Barry interviewed on NPR online in 1998 and he played the theme song to this movie. I was just blown away. I had to download the file, I remember, so I was able to play it many many times, but this was way before mp3 files were popular, so the only time I could listen to it was when I was at the computer. I thought about it for years, really. Silly, I know-- but I really ...             Jazz in Paris: Chet Baker Quartet Plays Standards2 reviews Chet Baker Emarcy France, 2008 Chet In Paris This is a really fine recording. The sound quality is EXCELLENT and it is a varied program ranging from uptempo rendition of Summertime to the moody ballads Chet is most known for. So dont let the bargin basement price fool you, this is 5 star stuff!             The Best of Chet Baker2 reviews Chet Baker Riverside, 2004 The white trumpet contender respect Miles Davis! The story of the Jazz in the Fifties certainly would be remain unfinished without the ominous presence of this outstanding virtuoso. Baker sound still possesses this alluring hook, this magnetic engagement charm, eloquent expressiveness, enrapturing lyricism and contagious rhythm, despite the elapsed time, which confirms by itself the status of his musicianship. This selection is jus a little ...             Chet Baker Sings and Plays from the Film "Let's Get Lost"7 reviews Chet Baker Novus, 1992 Jazz That Anyone Can Love Not all of Chet Bakers CD's are worth having but this one is. The beauty is in the fragility of his singing voice. Similar to Johnny Cash's later recordings you can hear the life that the voice has lived as it sings. His playing is also beautifully fragile and perfect all at the same time. I've probably over analysed everything here :) I just really liked this CD.             Chet17 reviews Chet Baker Ojc, 1991 Beautiful... Essential to any music lover's collection This is Chet at his best when it comes to trumpet playing. "My Funny Valentine" is my favorite of Chet's singing albums and this is my favorite album of his showcasing his amazing ability on the trumpet. You can definitely hear how Miles Davis influenced him. The CD recording couldn't sound better, it's crisp, clean, and clear as can be. The music is very rich and soothing, it's perfect for a ...             Quartet Live, Vol. 3: My Old Flame Chet Baker Blue Note Records, 2001             This Time The Dream's On Me - Live Vol. 11 review Chet Baker Blue Note Records, 2000 A UNIQUE LIVE RECORD In this record, first 5 tracks are recorded live at Carlton Theatre in L.A. in 1953 and the other tracks are also recorded live at Masonic Temple, Ann Arbor in 1954. The audiences are very enthusiastic, which makes you feel as if you are in the concert. Especially, the introduction part where Chet Baker and his quartet are introduced and the conversation between Chet Baker and audiences are very ...             Songs for Lovers5 reviews Chet Baker Blue Note Records, 1997 A great companion to "Let's Get Lost" or "Chet Baker Sings" It's ironic that an artist once primarily known for his trumpet-playing should have such a sweet, smooth tenor. Chet Baker's silky voice winds through his songs in a way that can sound both melancholy and hopeful at the same time. His vocals here provide the perfect counterpoint to the ultra-romantic titles found on "Songs for Lovers." Standouts include a haunting rendition of "Come Rain or ...              search for popular music 1955-1956, baker, barclay, concert, diane, dream, elegy, embraceable, favorite, featuring, flame, freeman, from, funny, great, heart, lost, lovers, majestic, paris, playing, plays, quartet, sessions, sings, songs, standards, time, tokyo, valentine popular music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
