For a man with little formal musical training, who rarely composed his own music and had a limited range as both singer and trumpeter, Chet Baker was certainly able to carve out a rather nifty little career in jazz. Indeed, these "limitations" became assets in Baker's work, breeding a guilelessness, clarity, and immediacy that only enhanced his music's appeal. The three-disc Prince of Cool: The Pacific Jazz Years 1952-1957 replaces the more comprehensive four-disc box Capitol released in 1994, and, as the title hints, it appears aimed at more casual fans who might be attracted to the Baker image and legend. No matter: the 52 tracks here (only one a Baker original) find Baker in his youthful prime and serve as a wonderful introduction to his style and sound. Disc one, "Chet Sings," offers 20 beguiling vocal tracks; "Chet Plays," the second CD, balances Baker the bop burner and the distant romantic; the "Chet & Friends" final disc finds him in the company of fellow West Coasters Art Pepper, Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, and Russ Freeman. Capable of both sublime subtlety and simmering intensity, Baker had an undeniably disarming quality that endeared him to listeners who relished his uncanny musical instincts, technique be damned. --Marc Greilsamer

Superb 50's Jazz October 4, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great album. Baker's voice and horn are each superb. "I've Got That Old Feeling", "There Will Never Be Another You", and "Let's Get Lost" are each worth the price of the album.
If you like sweet, smooth jazz, this is a great example.
