Chet Baker’s 1958 recording session debut for Riverside Records resulted in this album, which offers a modern, hipper take on standards like ‘Old Devil Moon’, ‘You’re Driving Me Crazy’ and ‘How Long Has This Been Going On?’ ‘Chet Baker Sings…’ is unique in that the nimble artist sets aside his trumpet in several of the tracks, using only his vocals, and even scatting some of the improvised solos in a style that sounds very much like his lyrical trumpet playing.
