chet baker SINGS 1954, PACIFIC JAZZ Chet Baker Sings is the first album where Chet Baker, in addition to playing the trumpet, sings. Like in a duet with himself, with these two modes of expression that resemble each other so much. Chet Baker sings as he plays his instrument, with the nonchalance of a Californian dandy, all in soft cotton, without forcing but always on point, at the edge of a yawn that feels good. No man sang jazz like this before Chet Baker. But plenty of women did. The success of Chet Baker as a singer may lie in this ambivalence between a brooding handsome physique and an asexual voice. Accompanied by a small orchestra in a gaseous state and on a repertoire of covers, Chet Baker was inventing here the ultimate rest area of modern jazz. With a special mention for his version of "My Funny Valentine," a melancholic coo that has entered the pantheon of classics.
