  • Description

    Deluxe packaging with 12-page booklet. In his dual role as trumpeter and singer, the perennial Chet Baker was one of the undisputed masters of the jazz ballad, able to reach climaxes of intense feeling and intimacy. This CD compiles Chet Baker's original versions of the featured songs heard in the film based on his life.

    Also included are unforgettable performances by Odetta and Charles Mingus from the soundtrack, as well as two amazing versions of the title song, "Born to Be Blue," sung by Nancy Wilson and Helen Merrill, the latter baked by another brilliant trumpet player, Clifford Brown.

    Recorded in Los Angeles, New York, Milan, Paris & Rome, between 1953 and 1962.
