Chet Baker – Chet Baker Sings (Staff Pick!)
$17.99
The record
Title: Chet Baker – Chet Baker Sings
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1954, Jazz, Cool Jazz, Los Angeles, CA
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Media Narrative: Pacific Jazz sold him as a matinee-idol jazz star—photos, hair, and mystique marketed like Hollywood, not just a trumpet player.
-
Band Drama: The label pushed vocals partly because his horn career was becoming unreliable; singing let him work even when his chops or stability slipped.
-
Legal Trouble: His drug arrests and travel bans later made touring unpredictable; this “angel” era gets re-read as the calm before a long collapse.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
