Chet had a quality (among many) of being able -- one might almost say courageous or retrained/ patient -- to allow space into his solos. Lots of space. There are moments where he lets an incredible number of beats go by before he re-enters. It makes for an exquisite balance and "open air" feel to his solos. Many of his colleagues over the years felt a compulsion to play as many notes as possible in as short a time as possible, believing that's what makes a solo fantastic. Quite the opposite.
Chet played with the musicians, it was a flow, an unconscious beat amongst the musicians. That's jazz. They didn't "allow, balance or open air (whatever that means). Chet and his band mates played simultaneously their music, in concert and synchrony, with no mind or reason explanation. Thats how jazz musicians perform.
It's been 3 months since I've found this gem. I just cannot get this piano solo out of my head ever since. Everything is so on point from all these cats
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 polite mellow kind & refined, sensitive gentle very personable sweet good-natured & very likable, casual cultured & very 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...
+Ronnie Kahn Thank you very much for sharing your story! Man I feel exactly the same about his music, he was such a genius... his style was so natural and charming, and never too sweet. What happened when he called you?? Please tell haha
How lucky to have lived such a memorable experience. I perfectly understand that you can only listen to the greatest of them all, Chet - both his singing as playing the trumpet absolutely sublime as if coming from the heavens.. I am moved to tears listening to him, can never get enough either...
I remember i saw chet in san francisco in the mid- eightees. I've loved his artistry all my life...i remember walking into the club and sitting down front and center. When he started playing i was stunned by his sound. I dont think it has ever been captured on a recording. It was the most beautiful sound i had ever heard!
Ein absolutes "must" für Jazz-Freund oder der es werden will. Chet Baker ist der Großmeister des soften Jazz. Erotisch, traurig und inspirativ. Keiner konnte es bisher besser. Es ist wie klassische Musik, man kann es immer hören.
The presence, relativity, wonderful music of jazz never dies, no matter how old the recording is. Relevant today as it was back then in the 50s or 60s.
What a great version of "So What" by Chet, also dutch Jacques does a fine job on the sax annd Rene on the piano... lsitenend for the ? time, again and again. Fine JAZZ..
Chet on flugelhorn at this set in Belgium. He played in Europe more than here at home. Their gain, our loss, but we have these great recordings to listen to now, thanks to you for posting them!
During the early 1960s I lived and worked in Naples, Italy. I recall Chet Baker being deported. Later, while on holiday in Paris, I learned he was playing at a club, the name of which translated into something like the fishing cat. He was playing flugelhorn. The only other musicians were a drummer and trombone player. After the first tune the drummer split. Then a duet with Chet subbing with brushes on a piano stool. Then the trombone player split and Chet shortly after. I finished my beer and likewise split.
Jazz is alive and well. Both NY and London have *very* active jazz scenes doing excellent music. Try Emmet Cohen's trio: th-cam.com/video/THrONN0gDM8/w-d-xo.html Or Moses Boyd: th-cam.com/video/6SlTkV4UMPI/w-d-xo.html
By jove, I stand corrected!!! Thank you for the links. I have been following Emmet for quite some time, but have found little else. And with Samara Joy winning a Grammy, I sure hope there is a resurgence.
@@seattlevegas66 Give the London scene a shot! Nubya Garcia, Joe Armon-Jones, Shabaka Hutchings (his project, Shabaka & The Ancestors is marvelous), Binker & Moses, tons of good stuff! In fact, jazz is going through a sort of revival right now. It's much, much more popular now than it was 10 or 20 years ago.
I had never herd of Chet Baker growing up. Jazz is not big in New Zealand. However I found a CD of his in a bargin bin at a music shop in Wellington New Zealand. Brought it, went back to my Hotel Room, dropped some Acid and Listened to it for hours. It was AWESOME!
Teaching fundamentals is teaching, playing the fundamentals in this way, is the genius of a person that understands the fundamentals inherently, doesn't have to think about them, and hears in his head the music he wants to project. And plays music that no one else ever thought of, while "teaching fundamentals"!
@@imbees2 I agree with you! In my language, "teaching fundamentals" Is different From "fundamental teaching". l should have said: " Basic teaching", referring to the elegance phrasing. Thank you for answer and for this opportunity to write (and revise) foreign lenguage!
Very nice tune. Of course Chet's trumpet is warm and goes under the skin. But René Urtreger , Luigi Trussardi and Franco Manzecchi play skillfully too.
Очень интересная версия so what, думаю что Майлс очень внимательно относился к творчеству Чета. Здесь настоящий cool, Майкл играл эту вещь в стиле модального джаза.Мне например эта версия нравится больше.
When I hear Chet playing , it seems he plays a story , so much to say and still I dont know the whole story and each time I discover more. It must be an endless book
Chet's the kind of guy that has to memorize his solo to sound good. Otherwise, he sounds like he does here. I see why Bill Evans did not like his playing at all.
What Chet is playing at the beginning is just so unique. He was so much ahead of his time. He always had other ideas. But I guess you can tell his focus has already gone a bit due to the drug use. However his timing was still immaculate and this is all that matters. Why was Keith Richards so great? Because he was never rushed, not as a teenager, nor as a Grandfather.This is the most imporant lesson in life - dont ever let anything rush you., whether in music, sports (tennis is one best example), love, business life. And those who expressed this and entertained that way stood out - at least to me.
Why trumpet teachers say that puffing your cheeks is bad, i have seen many great trumpeters do that and they sound wonderful anyway, Chet Baker is an example
@slyme1711 same question: how can I get my hands on all these videos somewhere out there?? I don't care how much money TH-cam make - they have got around the restrictive policies of record companies - Sony being one of the main culprits. Through TH-cam I have found gems - like this one - thanks Friskounet!
Drugs don’t always derail you immediately. In the beginning, they help. It takes time and continued use, along with the stresses of life. If it’s slow enough, you never even notice it. Kind of like how people don’t notice themselves getting older. One day you’re just “old”.
4 notes in the tune and Chet can't even seem to manage them ! Not his best. The backing band are good tho' In the words of Eric Morcombe, "all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order"
I wasn't really offended. Fact is, bop is universally recognized as the single most significant advancement in the history of jazz, apart from the innovations of Louis Armstrong in the prior era. To hear it offhandedly dismissed as "BS" is thus shocking to those of us (long-time jazz musicians like myself) who have loved, supported, listened to & played jazz for decades. It just sounds very ignorant & uninformed. Bop is still alive and its innovations continue to permeate all music styles.
Minsook Yang I've loved Chet since I was a teenager when my father was playing one of Chet's old albums with Mulligan.....got caught up in Chet's very cool style and the unique sound of the group. I was blown away by the fact that they didn't use any piano on the entire album, just the two horns, bass and drums, but somehow it sounded complete; better than merely complete, actually. I hated watching him go downhill with the drugs and loosing his teeth, but he came back strong towards the end of his life. This is getting a little wordy......you have a great day, too (*_~)
Jacques Peltzer was a well known European pharmacist, addict, and jazz musician. They all used to stay with him, and he provided Chet with all the cutting edge narcotics he could get his hands on...
"Angelheaded hipsters .. who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz."
My grandfather was a trumpet player in a jazz orchestra in Lisbon that hosted Josephine Baker. When I was a child, he told me he had stopped playing because he had lost his teeth. He left me his trumpet, along with sheet music, but above all he instilled in me a taste for music. Later, a friend from my youth showed me Chet Baker records. Today I love this music more than ever.
Born to Be Blue and Miles Ahead: Why so much fiction when life is fascinating enough? By John Andrews "Coincidentally, two films based on the lives and personas of leading post-World War II jazz musicians have been released recently. Davis (1926-1991) and Baker (1929-1988) had parallel careers, with notable similarities and notable differences. Both played trumpet, and occasionally its larger cousin, the flugelhorn, and both were renowned during the 1950s and early 1960s for their understated, strikingly beautiful improvisations centered in the horn’s middle register. Davis spoke in a deep, hoarse whisper, while Baker had an alto voice that he used to great effect when singing romantic ballads. Both, although small physically, were extraordinarily charismatic and photogenic individuals who projected strong sex appeal." www.wsws.org/
Chet is so high. The sax guy tries so hard, but that measly "reefer" he shared was bunk, so the Ivy League piano dude owns him, tries to hand it over, then Chet steps back in as boss.
Le grand Chet Baker, le James Dean, le Rimbaud de la trompette, l'ange annonciateur comme l'ange à la trompette de Fra Angelico . Oui la musique du beau Chet est sacrée, son souffle est sacré car c'est aussi sa vie qu'il souffle avec ses blessures , ses amours, ses joies, son mouvement de vie . Ne pas oublier aussi sa voix, unique, androgyne, sensuelle, romantique , pleine de douceur déchirante, cotonneuse, qui ressemble tellement au timbre de sa trompette. Sa voix et sa trompette ne font qu'un comme deux gouttes d'eau qui se fondent en une . LA MEME ÂME. LE MËME FEU DE CHAQUE JOUR. Il vient de loin ce vent cuivré chargé d'une musique universelle, ce coeur gonflé d'amour. Une caresse pour l'âme, Un baume pour l'esprit. Elle vient de loin cette voix, cette source de vie de l'enfance éternelle. Il vient de loin ce silence habité, cette fragilité pleine de force d'amour, ce feu sans artifice, ce feu de l'origine, cette astre sonore, et, comme toute voix sacrée, elle continuera de briller encore longtemps pour nous monter la voie, la seule qui vaille et que chacun à sa mesure doit trouver dans son propre mystère d'être au monde. Bien à vous. Patrick Geffroy Yorffeg
Lindo tema de Miles Davis. Porém eu prefiro a execução feita pelo Chet Baker, para mim o maior trumpete que já passou por esse mundo. Inigualável a sua embocadura, elegância e bom gosto !!

YES!! BEAUTIFULLY expressed--he had such a gift for being so effortlessly in the moment! Not one excess note--"elegantly sparse."
This version is sublime.
It's been 3 months since I've found this gem. I just cannot get this piano solo out of my head ever since. Everything is so on point from all these cats

Everyone's killer on this, but fuck, that pianist is on a murder spree.
He crushes it on their recording of Sonny Rollins' tune Airegin on this session. Search it up!
Impressive. Strange that they forgot to name the saxophonist at the end : Jacques Pelzer, who plays a very inspired tune.
I really liked Pelzer's solo. A master of his instrument.
Terrific playing by Rene, in fact by all. Some of the best jazz I've heard...It hits the parts that others can't reach..

Is Jaques Pelzer in Sax !!
for sure, the other musicians are on the money, skillful. and in tune

Nobody today recognizes Chet. Jazz musings do. Public, not really. But I do.
One of my Top three trumpet players that I can listen to everyday
UrMomsHusband other 2?
I would guess Miles Davis and John Coltrane
Jaime Gonzalez, Woody Shaw and Wynton Marsalis. Next would probably be Maynard Fergusons big bad.
Coltrane played the Sax!
Oh my lord Coltrane did not play the fucking trumpet. Get learned on your jazz boy
Chet's the kind of guy that has to memorize his solo to sound good. Otherwise, he sounds like he does here. I see why Bill Evans did not like his playing at all.
BORN TO BE BLUE !
What Chet is playing at the beginning is just so unique. He was so much ahead of his time. He always had other ideas. But I guess you can tell his focus has already gone a bit due to the drug use.
However his timing was still immaculate and this is all that matters.
Why was Keith Richards so great?

Why trumpet teachers say that puffing your cheeks is bad, i have seen many great trumpeters do that and they sound wonderful anyway, Chet Baker is an example

Davis spoke in a deep, hoarse whisper, while Baker had an alto voice that he used to great effect when singing romantic ballads. Both, although small physically, were extraordinarily charismatic and photogenic individuals who projected strong sex appeal."

Chet is so high. The sax guy tries so hard, but that measly "reefer" he shared was bunk, so the Ivy League piano dude owns him, tries to hand it over, then Chet steps back in as boss.
Nice call, bro. Will have to watch/listen again! Ha ha.
my boy chet always dropping bangers
holy shit that saxofonist killed it
Que dire!?...Ah ouais,BRAVO CHET.
Le grand Chet Baker, le James Dean, le Rimbaud de la trompette, l'ange annonciateur comme l'ange à la trompette de Fra Angelico . Oui la musique du beau Chet est sacrée, son souffle est sacré car c'est aussi sa vie qu'il souffle avec ses blessures , ses amours, ses joies, son mouvement de vie . Ne pas oublier aussi sa voix, unique, androgyne, sensuelle, romantique , pleine de douceur déchirante, cotonneuse, qui ressemble tellement au timbre de sa trompette. Sa voix et sa trompette ne font qu'un comme deux gouttes d'eau qui se fondent en une . LA MEME ÂME. LE MËME FEU DE CHAQUE JOUR. Il vient de loin ce vent cuivré chargé d'une musique universelle, ce coeur gonflé d'amour. Une caresse pour l'âme, Un baume pour l'esprit. Elle vient de loin cette voix, cette source de vie de l'enfance éternelle. Il vient de loin ce silence habité, cette fragilité pleine de force d'amour, ce feu sans artifice, ce feu de l'origine, cette astre sonore, et, comme toute voix sacrée, elle continuera de briller encore longtemps pour nous monter la voie, la seule qui vaille et que chacun à sa mesure doit trouver dans son propre mystère d'être au monde. Bien à vous. Patrick Geffroy Yorffeg
Je découvre ce jour votre commentaire et le partage pleinement. Magnifique trompettiste qui interprète ici un morceau d'au autre monument Miles Davis
Excellent! J’avais vu Chet Baker à Paris en 1986, inoubliable. Mention spéciale ici à René Urtreger.
here we go
Lindo tema de Miles Davis. Porém eu prefiro a execução feita pelo Chet Baker, para mim o maior trumpete que já passou por esse mundo. Inigualável a sua embocadura, elegância e bom gosto !!
Chet was also playing mode! !
Sorry, I didn't study enough.
