This performance is the same year he passed. He was an incredible player which made his demons that much more tragic. Saw him perform live at the Blue Note in NYC in the early 80’s. I am a devoted fan to this day. So glad we have so many players preserved here for generations.
Chet is pure music, there being no gap between his intention and execution, truly extraordinary. The talk about his personal demons is merely pastiche from those who can not handle his meteoric truth. But I imagine there was no end to the degree of suffering he endured by never desisting from trying to realize the potential of his dreams. I love his soul and am so grateful I have been exposed to his ineluctable artistry, spawned by his will to address the inequity, juxtaposed against the uncompromising beauty arising out of the American heartland.
He must have been hurting, for him to look that bad. And to think that even with all his pain he could perform that well. Long live the King, in our souls and hearts. Never met you Chet, but I love you. Rest baby, rest!
Like fine wine...I found his performance to be his finest on so many levels. A culmination of his life coupled with pain and joy. To gain some insight into this incredible talent, see his documentary, Let's Get Lost. I found it bittersweet but intriguing. He has left an indelible contribution to this genre and we thank him.
Edward mi associo alla tua emozione, se posso, perchè spero che quest'angelo dall'aspetto grottescamente sofferente come chi ha dimestichezza con gli inferi, trovi pace, e gli ritorni un pò della tanta armonia che mi ha offerto. r.i.p. Chet
Listening to this magic you can understand what music is. Chet is music made person, he is Jazz. This is the love of music, of a genius who gave pure poetry to each of us with open hands. I listen to Chet every day and every day I think that tomorrow I will listen to Chet again, her notes are now inside my soul, and my heart is full of happiness.
1988 was a superb way of playing for Chet. He sounds so fresh yet with that always haunting sound. Everything I've listened to in 1988 (so far) has just blown me away. The musicians he plays with are so spontaneous and brilliant. These other 3 players all blend together in such a sublime and tight way. I love the pianist, brilliant. I am sooo envious of his talent and ability.
Almost blue is one of the extraordinary pieces of this recording, a swan song of a very sad man able to gift utmost poetry a few weeks before his abrupt death
Thinking that 1 month after that amazing show he die is so sad..Rest in Peace my superhero, now teach to angels how to sing and play trumpet. I'm Italian(Tuscan) and here, he's the king of jazz and music in general
Oh Chet, what sounds, what musicianship - so natural and that ever-so important factor that was your music - you were never too loud, just right. Perfect, as always. Thank you Chet for your beautiful music.
Au sommet de son art ! Une merveille de légèreté aérienne, de notes qui s'envolent en spirales, et de mélancolie jamais appuyée et pesante. Une merveille !
Retrato em Branco e Preto de AC Jobim para fechar o espetáculo, foi a melhor escolha possível do grande e eterno Chet. É um momento mágico! Dois dos maiores gênios da sensibilidade musical que já apareceram neste planeta! Amo muito Chet e Jobim.
the voice is an instrument and here is an example of a great trumpet player showing what goes on in the mind to deliver the sound that then comes out of the horn. Which is the greater. the eleventh symphony is ended with the orchestra but preceded by some of the greatest vices ever to deliver melody. only the composer could tell you but here i think the horn reins .
Das Kontert in Stuttgart wird mit zeitlebens unvergesslich bleiben. Damals war ich 38 Jänner und ein Verehrer seiner unvergleichlichen Art dem Jazz eine ganz eigene und vor allen Dingen persönliche Note zu geben. R.I.P
This is Chets best work for me! so much emotion, i can feel his pain in every phrase, i just cant stop listening to it! So sad, i wonder if he planed the end!
Like fine wine...I found his performance to be his finest on so many levels. A culmination of his life coupled with pain and joy. To gain some insight into this incredible talent, see his documentary, Let's Get Lost. I found it bittersweet but intriguing. He has left an indelible contribution to this genre and we thank him.
What an amazing experience that must've been. I was 8 years old when he passed and just discovered him this summer 2022. I haven't stopped listening to his music all summer. Rest in paradise Chet!
Oh nein, so kurz vor seinem Tod stellt sich Chat noch einmal dem Publikum. Und ich habe ihn verpasst... Und: so traurig: man spürt Chets Erschöpfung, seine innere Verabschiedung vom Publikum, von der Bühne, vom Leben. Dieses Video bricht mir das Herz. Wie gut, dass in Wolfsburg, wo ich inzwischen lebe, seiner am 25. Oktober 2013 gedacht wird!!!!!!! Er hat es verdient!!!!!!!!
Ran Blake & Karl G: Listen to Richie Beirach's composition "Leaving" played by Chet. Yes indeed, Mr B., there will never be another you. Like John Lewis MJQ, Clifford Brown, Bud Powell, Tadd Dameron, Jackie McLean. And so many others...

Love from New Orleans the city of jazz and the Cajun food. My husband and I also enjoy his wonderful music when we are in our home in Chile. Bless all his fans.
le plus délicieux des trompettiste de blues,l'equivalent de Clapton à la guitare,la beauté de la souffrance de la condition humaine,les amours qui disparaissent quoiqu'on fassent en musique.

Uma coisa é fazer comentários sobre gente comum; outra é comentar os deuses. Chet Baker é uma divindade do Jazz - a maior delas, na minha opinião. I love Chet.
Meu grande Chet,eterno Chet, como eu poderia definir,Chet era misto de simplicidade e riqueza musical,algo que soa....comum, simples mas se nos abrirmos para sua música veremos que é original,complexa e de uma riqueza sonora incrível,infinita, infinitamente.....Chet!!! Tem alguma alma brasileira ouvindo? Aqui no Brasil ouvir jazz e coisa de outro mundo, sobrenatural, bizarro e mais surpreendente que aparição de um ET, principalmente se você é pobre,mora na periferia,preto e nordestino.....triste realidade, mas sigo a minha alma,AMO JAZZ!!!
I hadn't realized just how bad he really was. He was either very, very hi or very, very sick. Well, he was not, and he still played exceptional. Gone too soon!
I'm not sure whether it was this gig or not, but he wasn't paid for a gig prior to his death. He also had an adverse comment from a critic who described him as a derelict 'store cowboy'. Drugs were beginning to take its toll was the sad story, but I think he will always be remembered for the emotional feeling that he would put into a song. His trumpet playing still held up here and was as good as ever.
Paid no heed to critics, no statues have been erected to a critic, they are by and large the fly that bites a horse; the horse is still a horse and the fly is still a fly. This particular insult is to display his own ignorance. Chet is and always will be a musician of extreme sensitivity capable of producing phrases that make your heart sing.
I totally agree--did you see the movie (Born to be Blue) about Chet that played last year--Ethan Hawke played Chet and did a bang up job portraying this troubled but oh so talented trumpeter.
"Critics" -- such as they are, can be so full of s**t! Chet was nothing even remotely similar to a "derelict store cowboy" -- that's just SO wrong, which shows the exact caliber of some critics!! Chet had some faults, sure, but he was a genius of a musician. Critics can't always critique correctly! And they're often prone to "picking apart" performance. Not nice to call names, whoever you are!
Pianista de corte nervioson!! Nunca se supo poner a la altura de el gran maestro q tenia enfrente Y con la guitarra tambien un desastre jajaja,Chet te extrañamos mucho!!
Chet was SO correct about that -- what that guitarist did was impossibly inappropriate for that song, as well as that point in the song! As a musician, I would have HAD to stop there also, and I'm not sure I would have continued with that guy, but Chet was such a gentleman. BAD, BAD, MOMENT!!
Chet had stated that he didn’t really like playing with drums for some reason. He knew what he liked and he took his music seriously and he was getting on to the sound man. This is one of my favs of his - almost blue.
Mr Leger , he was speaking with the sound superivisor behing the stage , the bad Moment is this guitarist playes surely better than you , that `s why he ended up playing with Chet , not you
This performance is the same year he passed. He was an incredible player which made his demons that much more tragic. Saw him perform live at the Blue Note in NYC in the early 80’s. I am a devoted fan to this day. So glad we have so many players preserved here for generations.

Well said Ronette, Very well said. Yes, " Let's get lost" must be seen by every Chet Baker fan as well as every Jazz fan.
Ronette Blissett I totally agree Ronette, Chet is like Shakespeare, he covers all aspects of human life, pretty well most of mine.
Absolutely 27s....! Chet Baker has earned. the respect of jazz lovers worldwide. There will never be another like him!

As pianist for George Lee's Anansi I shared the bill with Chet at Ronnie Scott's around that time - what a privilege

you mean, the first 5 months of 1988...
I had never heard Chet baker till I saw him on TH-cam. One of the greatest sounds I’ve ever heard.
What a sublime and poignant performance! I'm choking up listening to Chet. The accompanying musicians are great.
I'm listening his trumpet and songs four days nonstop and I can't stop.Mary Christmas for everybody.
U must have been on Meth...
@@fredgertie I've been listening to all things Chet for days now. I don't touch hard drugs.
@@ralphdavis9670 Never ever do......
Merry christmas!
Old Movie Shack drinking coffee and having a night in with Chet Baker......doesn't get any better than that.
Wish I could've seen him live. One of the best trumpet players in history. RIP

And the bassist. Wow! I'm up there.
25:50 "please don't play with it while i'm singing this tune"
