The ultra-hip and sophisticated "cool jazz" that Chet Baker
(trumpet/vocals) helped define in the early '50s matured rapidly under
the tutelage of producer Dick Bock. This can be traced to Baker's
earliest sides on Bock's L.A.-based Pacific Jazz label. This album is
the result of Baker's first sessions for the independent Riverside
label. The Chet Baker Quartet featured on Chet Baker Sings: It Could
Happen to You includes Kenny Drew (piano), Sam Jones (bass), and Philly
Joe Jones (drums). (Performances by bassist George Morrow and drummer
Dannie Richmond are featured on a few cuts.) This results in the
successful combination of Baker's fluid and nonchalant West Coast
delivery with the tight swinging accuracy of drummer Jones and pianist
Drew. Nowhere is this balance better displayed than the opening and
closing sides on the original album, "Do It the Hard Way" and "Old Devil
Moon," respectively. One immediate distinction between these vocal
sides and those recorded earlier in the decade for Pacific Jazz is the
lissome quality of Baker's playing and, most notably, his increased
capacity as a vocalist. The brilliant song selection certainly doesn't
hurt either. This is an essential title in Chet Baker's 30-plus year
canon. [Some reissues contain two bonus tracks, "I'm Old Fashioned" and
"While My Lady Sleeps"]. by Lindsay Planer
