Much as I like Chet Baker and everything he sang and played, he did have a dark side. I won't go on about it; lots of other artists of that era were similarly challenged. What he did do was legiimized the use of strings with serious jazz on a seminal '53 album, Chet Baker with Strings: http://www.allmusic.com/album/chet-baker-strings-mw0000690407 << excellent write-up. This path became well-trod by others but there's none better. A couple of tunes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKcVwJyu1s8 << all-star players on this session and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6MzYsFfBQU <<...and the charts were stunning

Sometimes I will go to the great jazz vocal duo of Jackie Cain and Roy Kral! ....simple yet great singing!
