Description

|
|
|
One of the jazz world's most romantic—and romanticized—figures, Chet Baker was a troubled soul who made angelic music. This compilation of iconic Baker performances includes "My Funny Valentine," "Moonlight in Vermont," "My Heart Stood Still," "Old Devil Moon," "Fair Weather," "If You Could See Me Now," "How High the Moon?" "Look for the Silver Lining," "The Song Is You," "Almost Like Being in Love," "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," "Have You Met Miss Jones?" and more. "In his younger days, Baker was the Golden Boy of the West Coast jazz scene, making beautiful music in Los Angeles in the early 1950s with Gerry Mulligan and turning 'My Funny Valentine' into a wan love song for the ages. His stardom and dreamboat persona lasted for about five years, or until the time Baker became a heroin addict and the world's most-celebrated junkie."—LA Daily News
