All legends in one stage, Chet Baker, Paul Desmond, Ron Carter, Bob James and Steve Gadd. Just Wow.
All iconic jazz musicians in their own right. Wow I didn’t know that Bob James. Thanks
I KNEW that was bob james. Looks and plays just like him. Then im like wow hes looked he same for like 70 years😂😂
I heard Chet in a nightclub in Dayton, OH about a year before he died. He was only in his late 50s but looked a lot older. He still played like he was in his 20s. Same impeccable tone, same tasty improv. He struggled so much with drugs. In 1966, he got rolled trying to buy heroin and had several teeth knocked out. It took him years to get to where he could play again. But he did and still gave us wonderful music through the 70s and early 80s. He was an artist of the highest caliber and we are fortunate to still hear him on recordings. One of the greats!
He was just amazing. I transcribe solos by other players and when I get back to Baker, his melodies are unmatched. Beautiful soul
If you listen to his songs there always is a certain amount of sorrow, definitly as he got older is got more and more. I think it's mostly some kind of pain mentally that made him what he ended as.
Only pain and unhappiness can express the deep emotion which you can feel in his music.
Rest in Peace buddy
Even though he is not physically with us his music still stands as strong or even stronger than then.
I used to know a guy who, physically, was Chet's dead-on twin. Not a trumpeter, though. Could really play harmonica though.
Gilly's?
you didn't see Chet Baker in just some ol' club in Dayton, you saw him in one of the great jazz clubs in the country, Gilly's.
Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Cannonball, Horace Silver, Teddy Wilson, Ahmad Jamal, Sonny Stitt, Gil Evans orchestra. a parade of some of
the greatest jazz artists. now long gone. nice to hear somebody else remembers.
As a teenager, I was sneaking out my parents’ home to go listen to Chet Baker at the Blue Note, rue d’Artois in Paris. I was such a fan. I’ve seen him play at least 5 times, probably more. I put on dark glasses to look older and to be accepted at the entrance, which - I think today - must have made me look like a weirdo at this late hour. He was never singing. Sometimes he played very little, one night I didn’t play at all, too stoned.
… One evening, he sang… at the request of some people in the audience. I was amazed. I discovered that he was also a singer, one of the best. Now I have all his precious records.
Thank you very much for this precious clip - amazing
Belle anecdote qui rappelle que Paris fut (est) un haut lieu du Jazz parisienne :)
you were a very smart teenager i would have done the same i am 87 now and still listen to his recordings
ça c'est cool ! J'ai jamais eu la chance de le voir, il est mort après ma naissance...
Paris was a jazz city. Quincy Jones with a Big orchestra was playing Avenue Hoche, in a club owned by producer Eddy Barclay. I was almost the only client.
Joking, Quincy I’ve met for dinner in the late 60s, told me when I announced him that I was coming there almost every night : ´Ah, it was YOU!!!’
You had also Kenny Clark and Barney Wilem and The Jazz Messengers, with Art Blakey in St Germain des Prés, and Sidney Bechet… and a lot of concerts at the Salle Pleyel… Jazz was present at that time…
I envy the experience you got to enjoy
One of the best versions of this extraordinary theme, if not the best !
Steve Gadd is a genius Drummer of all Time! The perfection! Wow! Incredible sound perfect!
The way Desmond bounces and swings through those triplet combos in the opening lines of his solo gets me every damned time. That's one dry martini I will never get tired of. So sublime!
Chet Baker's playing Fluglehorn in this cut. His tone, technique and overall ability to sound both cool and wonderful match Desmond's alto sound. These guys are so well matched that you could say Desmond was the cream in Baker's coffee or vice versa. Not to take away from the great horn men, the Bricks and Mortar, Carter's bass and Gadd's drumming create the foundation for the lines laid down by Baker and Desmond. Few people realize that the bass provides the foundation for which the horn men lay down their lines. Let's not forget Gadd's drumming. He's providing the push, the dynamics that drive the group forward. If you're into small ensemble jazz it simply doesn't t get better than this.
Chet us off the hook on this one. Yass. Then you got Paul Desmond. Banging!!!!!
Yes, Flugle
For sure, Richard. you nailed it
Yes, even to me, one lacking in the nuances of jazz music, it certainly doesn’t get a better than this!!!
They all count.
I tried to figure out why I loved Chet's music so much. I asked my uncle who taught me so much about jazz. He said, didn't you know? Your mom played Chet Baker to her stomach when she was carrying you. I was born in 1955.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
😮
God, wat a gold mine.. Chet Baker, Paul Desmond, the greatest Steve Gadds and Ron Carter and Bob James too... oh my absolutely sublime... always will be... what lovely improvisations....
My absolute favorite version of Autumn Leaves. EVERYBODY is just killin' in this recording!
I suggest Miles and Cannonball Adderley's version on "Somethin' Else" then...
I prefer the song a bit slower, with more melancholy. That said, this interpretation is fantastic. There is no right or wrong here, just brilliant playing.
Hector Gallegos who plays the original version? I thought it was chet Baker’s
one of the best!
@@user-re3im5ke3m I like all kinds of versions, and especially this one by the Peter Nordahl Trio www.pfgpowell.plus.com/Sounds/nord1.html who also back Lisa Ekdahl on her jazz records (she started off as mainstream pop singer.
There will never be another version of Autumn Leaves as good as this one... Not even close.
Agreed
So true
TH-cam has such bad timing inserting a commercial in the middle of this masterpiece.
What a masterpiece. Best version of Autumn Leaves for me.
+Sandro Massarani better than Miles?
+Rodrigo Perovano Yes, better than Miles
+Kacper Bem I think it is...better drums and great groove. But the Miles version is great also.
+Sandro Massarani Depends on my mood for me. If I want a swinging version, yes this Chet Baker version. If I'm in a contemplative mood and want more of an infinite, emotional version - then Miles.
+Sandro Massarani Give a listen to Cannonball Adderley's, with Miles himself in the band.
No one had a sound like Paul Desmond. Simply remarkable. Smooth and beautiful.
He's my pick for best alto sax player.
@@DmPmRr1959 Mine as well. Listen to Paul Desmond and Chet Baker on guitarist Jim Hall's 1975 arrangement (and playing on) of the song Concierto de Aranjuez. Truly beautiful solos. Ron Carter was also on Bass. Hall's album Concierto was considered by many as one of "the finest recordings of that decade" and also "the great guitarist's masterpiece". Everyone was in fine form!
For sure, Paul Desmond is underrated and unsung. But that's because he played with musicians that overshadowed him, like Chet. Paul Desmond is one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. Period!
i just asked my daughter if she had any idea who was playing the sax and she said, "that guy from Take Five?" that's how unique his sound is.
Lest we forget the genuis of Paul Desmond: Baker and Desmond together. A jazz duo that can't be beat.
Wow, legendary players with some early STEVE GADD?! LUCKY ME!
I was listening to this for Baker and Desmond and after a bit, I was like "who is this drummer? He slays?"
What a fantastic recording!
This will always be one of my top 10 since the 50's and now 70th Birthday
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
This is probably one of the best jazz records.
Absolutely Carlos. Oe of the best jazz records of all time.
One of my favorites, too.
CTI records
Every element is great here but that drumming keeps catching me by surprise, fill after fill! Really inventive the whole time.
Jazz comes in many forms and a super group like this will show you why Baker James Carter Desmond and Gadd Wow now that's Jazz
As a trumpet player I obviously appreciate Chet's playing and his wonderfull solo, but the amazing Paul Desmond is on this track too!!!
I think Paul was the most inventive and lyrical improviser in Jazz. He could take a standard and turn it into something magical. His solos were often better than the song he was improvising on. Such subtlety, and a mind that was razor sharp, always ready to throw in an oblique quote. RIP Paul.
Silky smooth.
Yasss Paul Desmond!!!! The one and only!!!!!
Phil, I appreciate your philosophy about Paul Desmond. But! His interpretation and innovation came from the Black musicians playing the same music, but unable to perform in the same venue as Paul. u It's obvious, Paul's rhythm and syncopation comes from the Black jazz musicians. And that's OK
I love Paul Desmond.
Love Paul Desmond!
There are many ways or styles of playing trumpet - bravura, showing off, high notes, many, many notes, and then there is Chet Baker.
Beautiful musicality!
Love him...
What i am always saying that he has a beautiful taste of music 😍😍😍❤❤.....It's beautiful indeed i want to listen "Autumn leaves" from you (Mr. KIM TAEHYUNG)..... oneday when your trumpet teaching lessons are over....
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
What a classic piece... That can never be seen again.
Good Gawd almighty. You could hardly go wrong listening to anything from this stellar quintet. Baker, Desmond, Gadd, Carter and James. Whew...
Niente di nuovo, niente di vecchio, solo qualcosa di straordinario: "il suono dell’anima di CHET BAKER, dolce, veloce, gridato, soffiato..."
Чет Бекер ❤вы красивый джентельмен,у вас есть душа!в ваших руках звук льется!у вас хрупкое сердце!вы никогда это не прочитаете!вы настоящий джазмен,живший музыкой и сердцем!мое почтение,любовь вам,!❤💎🌟🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
All soloists but music is flowing like a river... True Jazz!
Chet is from another planet...
Paul's alto's tone is the mellowest!
Пипец!!! так не играют...эти ребята со своим мастерством - за пределами понимания!!!! СУПЕР!!!
Probably the most beautiful take in jazz history , timeless jewel .
Thomas Duchein щщз
You need to do a lot more listening.
The ¨Most Beautiful¨, cannot be qualified as probably. Say what mean and mean what you say. I think Sir Paul said dat.
@today is not yesterday extra lots of dick commenting here. i think i will stop reading this bullshit. ) ( i always say that.....)
Peter Hill shut up Jesus Christ lmao
Everyone is at his best!!! Incredible Performance. a real milestone in the history of Jazz!!!!
this record is just amazing! Steve Gadd is killing it. These cats are BRUTAL
5 of the best jazz interpreters...beautiful soft musical sound of each of them!
Chet's voice leading is amazing! what a solo!
I recall when you could go to a club and actually listen to this music and enjoy. Can't find many clubs putting this together anymore. Old timer here for sure.
Historic session, and I've listened to a few, really really legendary atmosphere , vibe, so alive ...
anyone know what year this was?
Found this on The Best of Paul Desmond. Almost wept the first time I heard Chet Baker's sad horn. RIP Chet, you left us way too soon.
Love Chet Baker but I melt when I hear Paul Desmond. Fortunate to have seen him in concert in Australia.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
The music I grew up with. Before soul music. Jazz was my first music introduction.
Chet, Ron Carter, Desmond, Bob James, and a young Steve Gadd, WOW!
Listen to the music... forget about everything else. This is a masterpiece from an amazing line-up. Desmond and Baker, Carter, Gadd, and Bob James... EXCELLENCE.
🏃♀️ 🍃 Autumn Leaves =
1) leaf in autumn
2) autumn was the season they spent together in Paris & how it has left
A true artist right here 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Як на мене це найкраще виконання цього дуже популярного джазового стандарту. Джазовий діамант!
I love Chet Baker. He's my favorite Jazz musician. I love his vocals too. A great singer.
Que abusivos! Dios que maestros ! Chet Baker donde ahora te encuentres , gracias viejo por tu música, el Jazz es cultura y también pasión .
Ensemble of amazing musicians. No egos just great jamming. Awesome piece!
Taehyung-ahh... 😍Because of him I got to know about this tune 🎶 👏👏💜
I wish I had a restaurant just to play my favorite jazz, indie, classic songs..🤤
Can any of jazz expert around here tell me if there's a musician with Ron Carter did NOT play with, in the last 50-60 years..?
Ronald Levin Carter (born May 4, 1937) is an American jazz double bassist. His appearances on 2,221 recording sessions make him the most-recorded jazz bassist in history. Carter has two Grammy awards. Carter is also a cellist who has recorded numerous times on that instrument
This man is incredible...God's gift to humanity
He didn't play with me :'(
Me either@@PtiDopSax
Coltrane? Monk?
This combo of personnel and this song is pure magic.
Everyone is in the pocket...smooth as silk.
Bob James, Ron Carter, Chet, Paul, Steve. this is how we do!!!
Ever since i listen to this versión...I have been mesmerized by it
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
I'm here because of Taehyung from BTS. I was drawn by the song that his teacher was playing during his trumpet lesson and i really wanted to hear it, it's beautiful.
I can't help but notice how healthy Chet Baker looks here. Oh, what a joy to have this recording.
Five genius for one song... God was in good mood that day
WOW!!! What a Quintet!!! Incredible playing!!!! Chet was SO G-R-E-A-T!!!
this is the one of hidden great playing on jazz history.
unbelievable menz i want this source of album.
Thank you Taehyung, for making us listen to good music
Never saw a group of people so happy doing their work.

First time I see them all playing together, despite liking them from their own bands and projects. They're all killing it, but a little extra kudos for Desmond. Once you hear him, it takes just a few seconds, if not instantly, to know that it is him on the sax. Such a clean tone/sound and so tasteful and mellow.
Steve Gadd is so damn good.
He's unreal.
It really is unbelievable. How he swings so hard
And he is a child in this video.
Distinctly superbly Steve Gadd!
It was Steve Gadd who played on the original recording of the song "Aja" on the Steely Dan album of the same name.
Beautiful, clean, classic, relaxed, profound, soaring yet measured. What balance and mastery. Thank you, Chet and Paul.
The young Steve Gadd, with irresistible creativity !
Com um elenco desses...é demais. Autumn leaves é a música de Jazz mais tocada no Mundo, por quase todos os músicos de Jazz, do piano até o trompete e mais todos os instrumentos musicais. Eu gosto demais dessa música de origem francesa do Compositor húngaro naturalizado francês Joseph Kosma, com letra do poeta Jacques Prèvent. É uma música de excelente qualidade.
How can you miss with a line up like this one! Love it.
Allstar cast here...wow! Nothing but the best!...Chet and Paul and Bob and Ron and Steve...way cool!
If anyone hasn't noticed, the footage is from a performance in the 60s, the audio is from the 70s.
Sensacional Chet Baker, trompete com Paul Desmond , sax alto, Ron Carter no contrabaixo, Bob James, Keyboards, Steve Gadd, na bateria. Excelente músicos !!!!!!!
The beautiful thing about Jazz is, you can wear glasses and still look cool....Ha ha ...! Thanks Brunex.....!!!
Dave Brubeck proves that
A relatively rare Baker recording in which he's not the centerpiece throughout. Amazing how this group blends, especially given the generational gap... Brilliant performance for everyone concerned. Wish the video was of the actual performance.
Wow! Chet you are so great! Your solo is the best I ever heard on a trumpet! There is nobody on the world who play this instrument like you!! You are the best trumpet player of the universe!!❤❤❤❤ Why you died so young??? Bob, Paul, Steve and Ron, you are also all great musicians!! Respect for you all. This is real amazing Jazz! My favourite and best version of Autumn leaves!! 😊❤
I had no idea Chet recorded with these guys. This is a true jazz supergroup, It's pretty clever how they put this together.
Love this recording, I had heard the audio before but not seen the video!
The way Steve Gadd's drums seem to "pop" is so amazing
geoffmobile
So you "heard the audio before but not seen the video".....I hate to break it to you, but you _still_ haven't seen the video to this recording.
If you were a little more familiar with playing the trumpet, you would have noticed that the actions of Chet's fingers on the valves don't correspond to the notes and phrasing in Autumn Leaves.
The editing was very creative, although somewhat underhanded.
@Faustus and you are an idiot
ivica kukic
Only an idiot such as yourself would post a comment in a thread without addressing it to the intended person.
Faustus If you were a little less pretentious you would have noticed that you don't need to be "familiar with playing the trumpet" to notice that the video doesn't match the audio, the original comment just adressed the fact that now we have a visual guide to follow with the music. Even though it's not the "real" one.
Ricardo Urquiza
You need to work on your reading comprehension and critical thinking ability, Goober.
My reply was to the original post, to wit....."I had heard the audio before but not seen the video!" I merely informed him, with a little humor, that he still hadn't seen the video to this particular performance.
Btw....if you were a little less smug and didn't thumb-up your own comments, you wouldn't be a virtue-signaling millennial dumb-ass.
My ears are delighted by these musicians.
Its raining in my place. I look outside while listening to this beautiful melody. Such a great day
Excelentes, grandiosos, incomparables , jamás se encontrará un cuarteto tan virtuoso : todos ellos maestros de su especialidad .Gracias .
the best version of autumn leaves. ron carter & steve gadd - they give the real groove infrastructure. fenomenal!!!!
The best instrumental rendition of Autumn Leaves; it’s a classic. Every instrument is in the flow of the music. All masters of their instruments. Oh, my! The drummer, base, and keyboard are cookie’. And Paul Desmond’s smooth West Coast saxophone is just heavenly.
I just struck gold, first time seeing and hearing this. WOW!!!!
Who cares about the sync of the frikkin' video?? Paul Desmond and Chet Baker together playing one of my favorite songs! The video could be showing Norm Abrams sawing wood; it wouldn't matter! Thanks for uploading.
right on
I call it "jazz-sphincter".
Boom
I so agree with you! Listen to that music!❤️
Couldn agree more !!
A very young Steve Gadd on Drums.......Awesome
I really love trumpets. Especially the ones that God sent. 💕🥰🦋🌈✨🙌
Yess play it now chet. Yesss.old winters song. When autumn leaves start to fall.
One of my most favorite Jazz songs of all time. Diggin' the drums and the crashing cymbals.
When I was a kid I used to follow the Grateful Dead. Had I known these guys existed in a band together I would have said frack this Dead head shit I'm following these guys.
You can have it both ways. This sounds of the great CTI records days, recorded in the 70s. Also heard flute, probably Hubert Laws.
Have you heard when Ornette Coleman sat in with the Dead ?
Both good
I could listen to this ensemble play Autumn Leaves a hundred times and still hear different nuances. Words fall short when trying to describe the artistry on display in this performance, the music says it all!
To watch & listen to these iconic artists in their prime, individually & collectively, gives me chills and touches a place deep in my soul.
the craftsmanship of each musician is just thorough the roof combined with a great composition and beat. I need more listening to see if this beats Bob's Nautilus...
Excelente de verdad este vídeo me trae de recuerdo a mis artistas favoritos, algunos activos aun, otros ya fallecidos que dejaron constancia de su arte. Excelentes arreglos a Autum Leaves. Este es un pocker de ases.
Brings your spirit up every time.
all i can say is "DIG THAT, BABY!!!" THe glorious chet baker.
I forget how good this is. Always nice to rediscover it.
Cool!!! I can listen to this all night!!
Magique, magnifique.
Just great playing by chet
just saw "Born to be Blue" and it brought back wonderful memories of my teen age years listening to the 'cool west coast jazz' and sent me hunting online for more of the music-ever special
Juste vingt ans 1959 c'est vraiment une légende Bill Evans est Chet Beker merveilleuse album
je comprend.
favorite drumming on any song
Who cares if the video doesn't match the audio whatever,?? Still one of the best jazz recordings ever!!
