Apologies for the tuning on the vid, if you want to play along you can adjust the tuning using this Chrome Extension chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/transpose-%E2%96%B2%E2%96%BC-pitch-%E2%96%B9-spee/ioimlbgefgadofblnajllknopjboejda/
Sensitive, artistic and pleasing. Errors? Who cares when the notes are jewels. Who else plays like that?
I think both of them had funky notes
Very fine playing. I like his use of different scales (natural minor rather than dorian, harmonic minor). The imperfections make the art - Chagall dried his works outdoors and some still have dried bird poop on them. For me this is sensitive and melodic, uncluttered and in some ways more difficult than the soloist playing a million notes - if you choose a clunker it really shows. Thanks again for the clip.
and Phrygian
So easy and understandable.
Love Chet Baker
..thank you it´s beautiful. i guess the tuning was very low.. half tone deeper..
Yeah chetty was on a mad one
The intonation is due to the quality of the video playback speed.
Lots of players did similar things. If they play out of tune slightly it is more noticeable and they stand out. Jackie McClean played quite sharp for a similar reason
Nope, it's seems whole band is flat. It's definitely playback speed@@joeoc7762
Pena que se acabou nas drogas ...hj não faria sucesso nenhum...
thx
Noice !! 👏 👏
How much pressure do you need to be using on a high brass instrument for your cheeks to puff out
Very little
I’m a trombonist but Im pretty sure it’s bad technique bc the full tone only comes after your cheeks can’t puff up anymore
if your cheek muscles are working properly, it's possible to keep your cheeks in place. I play horn, which is more demanding on air than trumpet. Fortissimo accents make it difficult to keep cheeks in place, but it's doable.
Puffing your cheeks out makes it harder to control your tone and tuning. I'd guess Chet did this as a creative choice, to get an airier tone.
@@ampersand64 i can’t even keep my buzz if I use that much pressure
@@french7515you don't have to put more pressure in order to have your cheeks puff, you have to loosen your cheeks
Does he sound pinched purposely?
zottiri zottiri zort keşke yuvarlanıp ölsem
why is his intonation so tense? is it because of the flugel hes using or is it just poor embouchure, because he sounds really pinched and tired throughout the entire solo, and in the bottom register the sound is insubstantial and spread really broadly. Was this a purposeful style or was it just a bad day for him, if someone qualified could answer :)
I think he was just tired or started cold. Anyway there's plenty of recordings from him where you would think he was struggling and then he suddenly pops out an amazing phrase doubling the time. He was one of a kind and he had his own unhortodox style.
@@AncientRe yeah i marched drum corps this past season for pacific crest, and my director marched as well so im definitely lacking when it comes to a more individualistic style of playing haha. Thanks for the advice!
It's because he lost his teeth at this time I'm pretty sure. Intonation is hard to control on a flugel, so that doesn't help
@@Salieri211is that part of why he puffs his cheeks out, to maintain a sort of stable structure to his embouchure with missing teeth, and why the tone sounds resultingly tense??
@@camdenewing7501 I'm not sure of that. Of course, directors say not to puff your cheeks because of pressure but some people like Dizzy Gillespie puffed up like crazy. He could've done this to counteract him losing his teeth. I'm not sure.
What is george Harrison doing back there
Sounds like Chet was missing teeth
Chet would lose his front teeth 2 years later in '66 due to a beating...
No direspect please!
@@georgeschaut2178theres a video from the same performance that shows he was already missing teeth th-cam.com/video/bMNdLIQU0rI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3TVP_gPVamRwn-q7
True statement, very airy tone
At this time he was missing a single tooth
Wow, that is some very unclean playing.
And yet, miles more creative and expressive than any of the trite garbage you've posted on your channel. Try harder.
@@AncientReok boomer
it’s cause he was missing his 2 front teeth from a beating
Aya?
Veramente imbarazzante
Wrong notes
where?
@@finlayrivers9839 Start with the key Ebm, just half tone down. For example the first note is Bb, no B. Then modulate to Em, no Fm
@@daka9730 Chet Baker's valving combinations tell us that the first note played in his solo can't be a Bb, it has to be a B. The recording is in Em (concert Dm) but just slightly flat, which is why it sounds kind of like Ebm
so it's because of the trumpet?
@@daka9730 ya and the bass player's fingerings show he's playing in D minor too, which is also the standard key for the tune anyway
