Basically - i am more addicted to his voice, than to his trumpet sound alone. Even if i like the trumpet sound, it's because it's right after his.... unexplainably sad voice.
The love songs that he sings are of coz draw out my heart - best picks are: Look for the silver lining, Angel eyes, The Thrill is gone, My funny valentine.
And the one i can play repeatedly, non-stop, for hours, is: "I fall in love too easily".
"Let's get lost" is .... crazily sweet too. :-)
This is a nice selection... There is one album of his you should pick up "The Original Quartet With Chet Baker"
回覆刪除In early 50s, Gerry Mulligan finds a young musician in Netherlands and they created an experimental combination with piano-less quartet. This sound is the cornerstone to modern jazz, and made Chet Baker a star.
There is a reason to his sad voice, but I'll leave that to another time...
