In 1986 Elvis joined Chet onstage at Ronnie Scott's jazz club. In 1987, Chet recorded Elvis's song "Almost Blue".

Never knew much of Elvis but he’s clearly brilliant and interesting to listen to. Chet Baker is a legend.

[@JAOB1968]

So humbly intelligent, so insightful, such good memory. You realize, in addition to talent, how much work and dedication there is behind great musical careers

[@chrisinfidel]

Gotta love Declan/Elvis, one of the finest singer/songwriters of the last 50 years.

[@hankstevens4194]

Amazing interview, Elvis is as much an astute musicologist as he is a musician. Very informative.

[@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES]

He’s astonishingly good on Chet isn’t he

[@gibbogle]

Baker & Evans The Legendary Sessions is a great recording of the two geniuses.

Almost blue on the Tokyo album is incredibly good.

[@RW-ob4en]

Yeppers!

[@rob7819]

Totally agree

[@markshaw1966]

I love Chet's version of Almost Blue. I didn't even know Elvis wrote it.

[@jacobjorgenson9285]

Live in Tokyo 1987 🫶🏻

[@littlelamb6804]

Me too. It's an amazing song.

[@greaterbayareahero1401]

One of the most creative song writer of his era.

[@jasongray4517]

There's a fascinating South Bank Show documentary on Costello's time in Nashville.

[@magisterpiazza1920]

26:50 he describes CB as a “ minaturist.” Very insightful.

A strong later album of Chet’s is Baby Breeze. With some contemporary musicians like Frank Strozier and Phil Urso.

[@matth6932]

Love Baby Breeze Album.

[@gibbogle]

Chet Baker was a musical genius. Such a sad story though.
