I'm 86 born and raised in Chicago. My husband was a jazz drummer in the 40's and 50's so Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Bunny Barrigan (Can't Get Started), Dizzy Gillespi and Stan Getz romanced me right out of my mind and even at my age, it still works! Glad to see it's still appreciated.
How wonderful. You must have had an interesting life. I'm 55 and grew up playing the trumpet in high school and college. I always wanted to have that beautiful tone that Chet had. Alas, I fear I never succeeded.
I love your story, Dolores, those must have been great days! I'm just shy of 10 years younger than you and was a classical pianist starting at age 3 but turned professionally to standards much later on after learning several instruments and singing. I would have loved to have heard all those you mention, one fortunately can still hear a few of them thanks to their recordings, but I would have loved to have heard them live! I did hear Stan Getz a few years back. I've been a Chet Baker fan only the last few years! I heard him perform many years ago at the Black Hawk in San Francisco, but never really got in touch with his performing again until after school and much later, after leaving performing myself. He's a new old favorite!!
Hi Dolores!! I love your story!!! Please, can i make you an interview? Im from Perú, Im a melomano, jazzofilo and journalist. I`d love to talk with you about those great moments. Please, send mi your mail. Greetings!!
The first time I met Chet Baker, he was playing at a little neighborhood club called Strykers on 97th & Columbus Avenue on Manhattan's Upper West Side. He was coming back after years of an extended period of absence, having diligently devoted himself to re-learning to play trumpet with dentures, which everybody told him could not be done. But he persevered and prevailed, and this was one of his first comeback gigs. Awesome! I never heard any trumpet sound like that! I don't think it could ever be captured on a recording: So intimate tender innovative & personal...sometimes just whispering & breathing infinite silence space&timelessness into his trumpet...He just loved music & making music so deeeeeeeeeply & innately: just making the purest finest most beautiful sounds and blissful ethereal effects. Chet Baker was truly a great Maestro of the highest degree, a natural-born precocious musical genius like Mozart! During the break I came up to Chet to thank & enthusiastically congratulate him. In my over-enthusiasm I started telling Chet how much I also dug & admired & had been imitating his singing for years, and automatically went into my little imitation of him singing “I Wish I Knew” till I caught myself & felt embarrassed & silly & said,“Oh no! Here I am doing my Chet Baker imitation for Chet Baker!” He just smiled & said “You don't look old enough to remember that record.” (1955 LP called “Chet Baker Sings& Plays") He looked gaunt & emaciated, almost like a derelict. But his voice and manner were very pleasant polite mellow kind & refined, sensitive gentle very personable sweet good-natured & very likable, casual cultured & well-bred. I asked him if he would sing during his second-set after the break. He thanked me for asking but apologized & explained why he really couldn't because he was working with just a bassist & drummer & no piano... He excused himself when his band-mates summoned him to prepare for their second set. There were just a few other people at that very small dimly-lit cellar club that night. My date was a nice girl who had the same last name as me though we were otherwise unrelated, I barely remember her, but we were both blown-away by Chet! When Chet came back from the break, he opened his set singing “Just Friends” Bless his heart! Still feels good that he honored my request & was singing just for me! His singing always kinda reminds me of Alfalfa from “Our Gang” I still listen to Chet's music almost every day now, often listening to him continually all day long, and when I try listening to something else for a change, I find myself missing his familiar soothing sound which is so much an integral part of me, I find myself unable to listen to anything else & hafta sink right back into that sweet fine&mellow transcendent celestial atmosphere he creates so effortlessly & endlessly... PS: I had given Chet my business card that night, and to my surprise & amazement-first thing in the morning--he called me! But that's another story for another time now...
Wow that's an amazing story. I NEED the hear the second one. I'm reading the 'Deep in a Dream' biography right now and it's nice to hear people who have good memories of the man.
this song sounds like you’re sitting alone in a cafe in christmas new york with a hot chocolate as you stare outside the glass watching snowflakes and couples and families having fun with each other 🥺. Thank u chanyeol
Nobody seems to be mentioning the Piano. I love Chet Baker but I believe the piano arrangement on this track is what makes it so special. The chord inversions make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Russ Freeman was the piano player as far as I know - what an amazing musician and what an incredibly interesting and moving arrangement ...
A masterful, exceedingly beautiful, deep and masterful trumpet solo. To me it conveys hope, contrasting with the melancholic nature of the lyrics and Chet’s vocal tone. A true masterpiece. I will never get tired of listening to Chet.
Listening to this on the porch of my best friend's house, coffee in one hand as the sun is rising. Jazz has never jumped into my bones the way that it is now.
I've never been in love before Now all at once it's you It's you forever more I've never been in love before I thought my heart was safe I thought I knew the score But this is wine It's all too strange and strong I'm full of foolish song And out my song must pour So please forgive This helpless haze I'm in I've really never been In love before But this is wine It's all too strange and strong I'm full of foolish song And out my song must pour So please forgive This helpless haze I'm in I've really never been In love before
Chet was never the best singer or trumpeter when it came to pure technique, but everytime he sings or plays, he bares his soul completely. What a wonderful privilege...
@@aidanmcbride3780 That is true, but from artist's perspective, his ability of musical expression and sensibility just flows all the way through every single note and word that he lets out. I'm a classical musician, a violinist, I don't know much about trumpet or jazz at all and it's really different from what I've been playing my whole life.But the tenderness of his music lures you in completely. I listen to various songs of his, never quite catching and memorising everything he does with chords and modulations and improvisation but I enjoy every single work of his because it holds something special that I never had found in anyone else before. His talent was truly one of a kind.
Chet sang & played from his gut & soul... as did 'Bill Evans, who I was fortunate to catch not long before Bill passed in 1980 at a Summer evening Jam-packed Hollywood Bowl Concert I didn't want to end with George Shearing & Dave Brubeck "Piano Masters" & They all jammed together for several minutes for the Finale
This song is one of my favorite old standards. Chet's version compares well with the versions by Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Joni James, and Linda Ronstadt which I think are wonderful.
+catman916 hey, good for you. you put him up with those to whom he belongs. then his horn, copies his voice and vica versa. none of the other could do that. just released is the movie'just blue'.
Creo que ninguno de ellos se podría comparar a la voz de Chet en esta canción. Transmite un sentimiento que no se siente en ninguna de las otras versiones.
I love his voice, it's so easy to listen to, his trumpet, as well. Great artist, he has a sound that is unique to him alone on the trumpet -- beautiful, yet mournful -- very touching, down deep. I could listen to him all day and night. I don't know of another artist today that has both his talents, many sing and play an instrument (besides piano), but he tops them all.
Conoci está bella interpretación de Chet Baker por una película sobre su vida que ví en televisión y me pareció relajante y nostalgica por la manera en que la interpreto.En aquel tiempo tenía 17 años,ahora tengo 21 y me sigue causando fascinación y tristeza oírla,por qué me recuerda cuan enamorado está en aquel momento de una chica .Era la primera vez que me enamoraba y la letra describe ese sentimiento de una manera muy hermosa y desgarradora...
This is the best version of this song. Better than Sinatra and everyone. He gets right to the center. I understand how easy it was to fall in love with him. He’s like a drug.
i agree. considering how good the song is, it's odd that none of the other attempts are nearly as good. almost all other arrangements seem too fast and or too jubilant. baker's is so poignantly ambivalent that it really captures the problems (and not just the joyousness) of "falling in love". and russ freeman's piano is just incredibly penetrating in its paucity of notes.
beautiful video document of the era of 50s, i love it and of course i loved the song by Mr Baker, they were really good times, they had a very calm and kind pace to them.
I've Never been in Love before...by that guy's measure....got thrown out a window and his teeth busted out from a heroin purchase gone wrong...is sad....always and the music shows his struggle as he goes from one note to the next...sounds a bit tortured...great sound tho~
One more comment this is not Only a Great American Songbook Chet Baker gold nugget.....but this video of Blue Collar Los Angeles in the '50s is a Kick !! Thanks!
There was a Restaurant not far from Bell & Maywood in the City of Commerce on Washington Blvd 'Steven's Steak House' I think it's still there in Oct 2022, I caught The Platters entertaining there one evening & Frank Sinatra Jr. performing at 'Steven's on another evening 'Both Great Shows......
Well I love Chet Baker, and I have always loved this song from “Guys and Dolls”. (Incidentally this song was not in the movie version of G&D.) So great to discover that Chet Baker did this song.

M.J. Leger if you can find the movie Born to be Blue with Ethan Hawke playing Chet Baker it is worth watching. Hawke does a great job playing Chet.

"I Fall In Love Too Easily"
"I've Never Been In Love Before"
Make up your mind, Chet.
It might not be for him.
lol I always thought that I Fall In Love Too Easily was about heroin anyway, and not actual love
Baladimbowbing it's not his lyric, so it isnt about heroin
La Mueca you are right, it's sammy cahn's lyrics. Although one could argue that the artist performing it opens the concept to interpretation.
I fall in love easily, but never been in deep love

Thank you for this wonderful dream... Or memory of a life I lived while watching my favorite movies...
I change the hot chocolate for a whiskey

Chet is my favorite jazz singer.
Me too
I just love that trumpet solo. How does he make it sound so heartbreaking I wonder?

I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forever more
I've never been in love before
I thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine
It's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour
So please forgive
This helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been
In love before
But this is wine
It's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour
So please forgive
This helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been
In love before
Too beautiful...love Chet singing this tune.
Be still my 💓 heart
Listening to this after watching Born to Be Blue, I am crying nonstop..😢
i will watch that movie tonight...

Dear Olivia Have a good day are you korean?
Thanks! Yes I am. :)
that movie it's so amazing I've just watched.
Chet was never the best singer or trumpeter when it came to pure technique, but everytime he sings or plays, he bares his soul completely. What a wonderful privilege...
Ganja Mozart TAKE THAT BACK
Ivan Hernandez i have no idea where he got that from?! Chet is amazing!
teen witch he didn’t say he was bad, just that he had less technical ability than many of his contemporaries, which is absolutely true.

Thanks chanyeol for bringing me to this song

Thanks Chet, really thanks. You are the only person that knows this feeling.
Sin duda alguna, una de las canciones más hermosas del gran Chet Baker.

Thanks. I loved and enjoyed every bit of it! Such nostalgia! We owned a 1952 Ford green and black Crestliner back in 1952 and a 1956 Chevy
No matter how old this is
Still loving it

Vine por Bang Yong Guk, gracias! 💖🙈
Aunque ya conocía a Chet Baker por otras canciones.
me dan escalofríos cuando escucho al chet...esas notas tristes y melancólicas que a la vez te hacen bien y te depuran el alma
Y te transportan a otro lugar y a otro tiempo. La melancolía es reflexión, y eso es un valor fundamental.
one of my favourite songs ever
beautiful video document of the era of 50s, i love it and of course i loved the song by Mr Baker, they were really good times, they had a very calm and kind pace to them.
