Review
This
one somehow fits Chet Baker's taste. I mean, Chet may
have gotten his singing influence from Billie Holiday.
Both are so carefree and smooth. A dear tribute paid
by perhaps the romantic singer of all-time to the queen
of jazz vocals. Now I think of it, Astrud Gilberto apparently
borrows her singing style from Chet Baker. Foolish me,
I never thought of it that way. The drawback of this
album is that the orchestra could get in the way.
