Know what you mean, gregmo. I d call it lineal like Tristano with the keys, kinda cool thing. I think young Chet was the first who sang like that. Its a matter of either...or. There´s hardly an in-between if you like this style or not In his latest years I think Chet needed those singing intervals because of his dwindling chops for the trumpet..

@gregmo Understand that. Chet´s singing has always been an acquired taste. Earier on I felt like you. Only pure trumpet. But later on I discovered the charm of his singing. Even in his late periode I liked this frail character. There are some nice examples of great late frail singing, similar to those last Johnny Cash recordings. With Chet it was like this: He played like he sang and he sang like he played. Always strong interdependence. @ArtSalt That sure would be attractive those fatal European years - especially picturesc Paris Sure you know those Barcley recordings Baker did after Twardzik´s death. Listen to "Tenderly" - real heartbroken. BTW: Never has this interdependence of vocal way of playing been more plain than in those gorgeous Barcley recordings (on: Jazz in Paris series, "Chet Baker plays standards") Of course I will see the movie. Don´t expect visual wikipedia but an artistically good and emotianally gripping film..
