Staff Pick: Amy
I can’t dismiss the memory of her kiss! Chet Baker is known for his phrasing and timing, whether it’s trumpet or vocals. He takes it slow and gives it to you straight, every note completely naked and vulnerable. His complicated, sensitive voice, so full of romantic ideals and airy, sweet notes, is a little sickly sweet at times. But then he looks you right in the eyes and tells you he’s never been in love before, and you melt away. He’s singing only to you, alone in your room.
PS: This is a perfect Valentine’s Day or Wedding Anniversary present!
