Chet Baker stands alone among modern jazzmen in having achieved major success both as a player and as a singer. On three numbers featured here; 'Do it the Hard Way', 'Dancing On the Ceiling' and 'It Could Happen to You', Chet introduces his own version of scat-singing following in the tradition of Louis Armstrong. The numbers selected for this LP are standards of the sort that lend themselves particularly well to what might as well be called the 'swinging-romantic' approach. Most of them manage to fall into that rare and attractive category of songs that everybody knows and loves but have not, as yet, been done to death by over-frequent performance.
