chet baker chet lp album re Soft Rock For fans of classic popChet Baker was cool jazz's most lyrical voice, equally gifted on trumpet and vocals, with recordings consistently revealing his gift for understatement and introspection. This album collects some of his finest work from the Riverside Records catalogue, showcasing the hard bop and cool jazz approaches that defined his artistry. Baker's tone on both instruments is gentle but never weak; his phrasing is conversational, favoring suggestion over statement.
