    I met Chet when we both attended. El Camino College in Carson, California, ...we just clicked....he as the teacher and I as the student....he taught me everything that I know about quality contemporary music....and even though to this day I cannot read a note of music..I have had a successful career as a session musician for 35 years ( even played with Bird and Diz at an Open mic session at Birdland back in the 50s) He got me my first gig with the Shelly Manne group in North Hollywood at a. Joint called Sorrentino’s. I was with him in Toronto just weeks before his passing and he was playing so well...everything was working and coming together. I miss him so much every day my life.

      Las Latty Thanks for sharing such a positive experience of Chet. He was not only gifted musically, but as I heard him speak in beautiful Italian about music, a fine mind sparkled through. I am so sorry that his choices robbed him, and us of more, but evidently, he finally pulled it together and left at his best peak in mature years......

      Do you know how he felt about his sound changing after his teeth were replaced? Did he ever mention anything about it?
      I love his later recordings because I can hear a difference in his tone, and it reminds me how he fought to relearn his embouchure and embrace his passion while battling his addiction.

    Long before I became a professional singer/ musician, Chet Baker touched my soul in the third person as it were. As a very young schoolboy, I was walking home past a cottage in Margate, Natal South Africa. A trumpeter with of one of the resident bands in town was playing 'My Funny Valentine'. I could`nt help myself, I had to find out where that beautiful song came from. That trumpeter introduced me to Jazz, the trumpet, and Chet Baker. So began a musical journey that has lasted a lifetime. Thank you Chet for all the wonderful music.

    Chet Baker dont play the instrument, he sing with his soul.....With any other trumpeter we listen to the virtuoso and to the trumpet.... With Baker there is no more trumpet playing, only a soul touching song.... There is no difference when he sing with his voice or with the trumpet, even when is voice is desintegrating....And it is a big mystery than a voice which at times can sing no more still touch the soul with so much force.....The soul of Chet Baker did not die even after so much drug abuse.....And after the lost of his teeth he resurrect himself on another level, more touching of the soul than ever....His last albums are no less heart breaking....I like many other musician on the trumpet, but not one can make stones shed tears but him.....He is on a league of his own.....
    i think the only other jazz artist that touch me on the same level is Bill Evans who dont play the piano so much but make a singing that tilt the heart like Chet....Bill Evans is in the same boat on the sea of pure art....Forgetting all written biographies about them, are they not obviously 2 separated twin brothers from the same unknown father?

    He would sometimes complain that his chops got sore....but he understood that it was something that he had to live with.

I completed the gig...then I took all my stuff (keyboards etc etc) to the local pawn shop and sold EVERYTHING....AND I MEAN EVERYTHING!! .....and walked away from playing live ever again. It’s been 31 years....and have never touched a keyboard since that day....never played a note. To me it all ended then...it was over then. Now at 83 years ...I have the memories and beautiful music such as this to get me by each day!

    Chet created a unique beauty that the world will never see again. You really have to listen closely to perceive his full genius, and not many people, especially in this age, are likely to do so; there's so much subtlety in his playing. BTW, I think one reason his playing and singing are so good is that that they are essentially the same; he used his instrument the way the best singers use their voice. I think the trumpet became an extension of his body. Not many musicians can reach that level.

    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 rather 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”
    Alalfa video! th-cam.com/video/MJde86uISv0/w-d-xo.html
    He reminds me of Chet, because he sings all-out every moment! Every note and every word with all his heart and soul! And he always tends to be bravely out-singing and tenaciously overcoming all obstacles and adverse circumstances. And he tends to struggle to stay on key on the high notes: barely making it by sheer force of will! Bravo Alfalfa! Bravo Chet!

    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...

    Stryker's Pub was on 86th & Columbus. I believe I met you that night also. I was Chet's drummer. As for his first comeback. That happened in Hollywood back in Feb. of 1969 at The Melody Room.- I was the one who bought him his flugelhorn, and watched him for many months re-learning how to play all over again, suffering from Trigeminal Nerve Damage to both sides of his cheeks and jawline. He went thru a lot of pain, but he never gave up. Then finally, after many months of re-learning, he was finally able to play a complete tune. Soon after this, I got him his first comeback gig at the Melody Room on the Sunset Strip, a few months later helped him to get a record contract at MGM/VERVE called, "BLOOD CHET & TEARS"- The rest you can read in my book of memoirs about Chet on (amazon.com) under the title, "Chet Baker: The Missing Years"- Artt Frank.

    Chet Baker was simply a masterful musician. His quiet, understated style on the horn as well as his singing was so soothing. He never blasted his horn and he could make his voice sound just like his horn when he was tonguing, a feat I've never heard anyone else accomplish! Great talent. The man had his demons with drugs like so many musicians, who are always seeking to somehow perfect their work, but it only dulls their minds into thinking they are better. You can rarely perfect a natural talent, it just gets better all by itself. Sadly, musicians BELIEVE they sound better when on drugs because their mind is dulled to reality. Chet shows his pitch control and marvelous talent above. (Chet did not do drugs before his performances, he was to much a perfectionist for that, he did them after work. But drugs, especially the opioids, are so seductive and addicting, that it is difficult to get off them, once they get a hold of you, mind, body and soul.) Chet was clean for 7 years, it's difficult to understand how he relapsed, but it can happen.) But he left us some fabulous sounds to remember, both vocally and with his horn, just gorgeous! I prefer to remember him this way, in the above track -- heart-melting!

      One reason why street drugs are so dangerous is because you never know what "fillers" they have used in them or the POTENCY of the drug. That's why overdoses occur, the drug can be strong one time and not the next, so the person never knows for sure how much they're REALLY taking of the drug and then if they get a street dose that isn't as strong as what they're used to, they take more. And the NEXT dose of the drug could be powerful enough to kill!

      @@MJLeger-yj1ww Drugs lead you into questionable situations. Many times you consort with criminals, just to keep the sickness at bay.
      If drugs were decriminalized, there would only be the toxicity, a public health issue. But there seems a relationship between heroin use, and deeply creative types, whether it's painting or music, we see it, mainly jazz players. Then proximity and availability loom as predictors...One wonders if they played into his beating and death; bet it did...
      The creative act frequently causes such unresolved tension in some artists, and heroin relieves these intense feelings.
      actually renders one more functional, when the dose is modest. But heroin looses it's effect over time, leads users to increase dose; eventually, the dose gets so high, each time gets more dangerously close to overdose. This is when some dry out for a reset, before resuming use again, with a lower dose, rinse. repeat, and hope for a naloxone or methadone rescue.

      @@fredyaffe7740 You have a good concept of what drugs (especially opiates) do and what counteracts them (Narcan) but methadone is simply another narcotic to help wean a patient off of a stronger opioid! And you understand, at least in part, what causes their use in the first place and the psychology and need behind it, but it is ignorance that makes them try the drug because I don't think half the people who imbibe really know the full danger of it or how and why they become addicted. You do, and nonetheless, I am happy to hear you were able to deal with and lick the dependency factor. Good luck to you, way to go!
      (I was a musician all my life and witnessed drug use all around me but I KNEW the dangers of drugs because I asked my father, who was a physician (M.D.) and he told me exactly how it works. ( I wanted to become a doctor also, so I listened!) I was too much of a perfectionist in my music to fall to the dangers of sedation when I was playing, but I understand peer pressure and how it can tempt a person. But I still think if they truly knew what could happen and really understand what addiction does, they wouldn't succumb to even trying it; they have NO IDEA how difficult it is to get off the drug.) Sadly, I believe rehab centers are inadequate facilities because they don't hire the right people to help those deep in the mire of addiction. They try, but they often fail. There's no easy answer really because the brain is such a complex organ. But if some of these young people could see an autopsy with an enlarged, crippled heart due to crack cocaine, and the congested blood vessels around the heart, as well as other organs affected by the drugs they use, PERHAPS it would impress them not to try drugs if they could really see and understand the consequences of what it does to the body besides the mind. Anyway, keep the good work Fred, I'm glad for you!
