Reader Reviews
These songs are culled from just a couple of recording sessions, alternating on the CD. The earlier half are from two dates in October and November, 1955. The later half are from November, 1964 and May, 1965. There are no recording dates in-between these time periods, although the disc does a good job of switching back and forth between the decade's passage that seperates them. As far as these Verve re-issues of 'for lovers' goes, this is still a fairly decent over-view of Chet Baker doing what Chet Baker did best. The occasional boy-man soft vocals lilting over cool jazz-pop background. Not as original or innovative as other jazz greats, vocal and instrumental, Chet still built up a solid following and reputation at the crest of the avant-garde jazz movement throughout the early 50's and on. If Chet Baker strikes your fancy, this is a good place to start your collection.
