Chet Baker - My Funny Valentine

Chet Baker, the trumpeter with the velvety tone and the singer with the fragile voice, is an icon of West Coast cool jazz. Decades later, his recordings from the 1950s sound just as intimate and melancholic. This album collects a number of his most characteristic renditions, including the immortal title track 'My Funny Valentine' and 'Let's Get Lost'. The atmosphere is subdued and romantic, carried by his unmistakable trumpet sound. Baker's music evokes a sense of timeless elegance and melancholy.
