Presented here is the complete original Chet Baker album Embraceable You consisting of an outstanding trio date featuring the leader playing the trumpet and singing in his most romantic mood backed by just guitar and bass.
While this kind of formation would become a standard setting for Chet in his later years it is quite unusual for 1957 when the session was recorded. Strangely before he recorded the 13 trio sides Chet had started the session taping four larger group sides along with composer and conductor Bob Zieff. These rare tracks which complete the session are included here after the trio performances.
Five alternate versions by Chet of songs from Embraceable You have been added as a bonus including a reading of “Trav’lin’ Light” that pairs Baker with Gerry Mulligan and his only other recording of “What Is There to Say?” on which he backs singer Johnny Pace.
