With a smooth, provocative and sometimes haunting vocal treatment, Boise- based singer Jeff Baker explores the music closely associated with the great trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker. With some dynamic new arrangements and a swinging, sympathetic band of several fellow Origin/OA2 artists, Baker Sings Chet is a deep and innovative homage to one of American music's seminal artists, and marks the debut of a fresh new presence in vocal jazz.
