...yet the sad thing is...we musicians are considered "NON-essential." 😥 Hope & pray we can all get back to work and bring live music back to our communities. 🙏🏽
good night people, wherever you are.
Good night to you too!

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. 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.
please tell more, love these kind of insights thanks
Tell ALL.
Great insight into that very night / comeback warm up. Your love for Chet Baker's music is tangible. Should you ever wish to share the story of the morning phone call i'm all ears.
Ronnie, thanks for sharing this beautiful story. I go to another dimension when I listen to Chet. A very peaceful state of mind and feel truly happy... I listen to his playing almost every day. Amazing. Btw I love NYC and go back there regularly

I’m here sadly
we are with you
yes you are the only person on earth who had this extremely unique thought
@@whatskraken3886 true
You are not alone
Last year Chet Baker, Bill Evans, and Thelonious Monk gave me a secure comforting space to return to studies after a fifty-five year gap. I now return to the reading and writing in the company of friends whose troubled lives masked genius and humanity and warmth needed for the lonely hours. They have enriched my life and I hope that future generations discover them.
Well, are you still working towards a degree?

This is from another world. I listened to this on eyes closed in the dark while snowing. Lighted up a joint. Damn!!
Great idea! Join another world and make this one a better place!
FUCKING RIGHT ! :)
I heard the first song when I was a 7 y/o in 2007 in my Uncle car, years later I spent hours thinking and searching for this song and now that I gave up and almost forgot about it, it pop ups randomly and I finally find that great song !
How awesome 😎
64 and revisiting as it were.

This is the type of music that is for stress relief, to sleep, to study, and just to listen to.
Green tea, a bottle of water, Jazz with all the geniuses ( Coltrane, Parker, Collins, Davis, Pharoah, Baker …) what a Sunday evening !
iit's a sunny day and 'm sipping green tea while working and listening to this right now hehe
My confort album during lockdown.
Every wednesday i put this on and stared from my windows at the dancing flowers on the other side of the street. Great feelings
Great comment! Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
Don't let anyone lock you down. Bad for your health both mentally and physically.
Trumpet is one of my favorite music instruments because it is an extension of the human voice and it symbolizes joy, light and serenity. Chet Baker wasn't of my generation, not like Chuck Mangione. Now more than 40 years later, I'm taking the tiime to listen to him blowing the horn and I'm discovering beautiful tunes like "No Problem". A few years ago, I saw a short video showing him in a small bar among people who didn't seem to know who he was or care about him, as if he was a hobo paid with beers to play a few tunes. It was during the last years of his life and he looked qulite miserable. It broke my heart. Such a great jazz trumpetist... Because of that, I'm paying respect to him today in memory of this giant of jazz history.
Beautiful comment, Martin...
@@xoen6 hello, welcome from Bretagne ! I agree with you, just a melody of his heart, so nice diphtony .... only happyness , how can you be so pooer with a tresor in you ! Respect
a whole new world is opening up to me. i don't think you could ever be sad and listen to jazz.
Me too😊
Chet Baker is my chillout zone after intense Grateful Dead Jam sessions from the 1960s and 1970s..
Listening to his music, I can see his life. He's real, he doesn't pretend to be anyone
Pure Joy! 85 and still listening (not dancing anymore)
50 at present, and, well, ladys kindly invite me not to dance. Greetings from Italy !
I can see u dancing and you are pure joy..Love u
Tone, vibe and phrasing - unique. Sure there are faster and flashier guys, but nobody was cooler
I love Dizzy, Lee Morgan, Miles of course, but there's something about Chet's music that i can not explain, it just has another feeling and it just heals me inside, hard to explain.
it is the human thing in Lester Young, Ben Webster, Pee Wee Russell, Wes, Billy Higgins... beyond the horn
Chet’s songs sound like being alone at a bar at night with deep thoughts. Well, I’ll drink to this, cheers
Im drinking for months so be carfull

@@jjooijjjoo1075 That is in fact good for you. Makes me happy to hear. How did you get rid of it? Tell me more, I must admit that I find myself in aroused curiousity.
No problem got me crying in shock at the sheer beauty
A damned angel , singing in his brain when playing the trumpet and vice versa. I had the chance to see and hear him in Paris, my natice and home city at that time, with Stan Getz.. what a souvenir
Chet Baker is essentially necessary. the lightness of his compositions and songs left a legacy for Jazz lovers
This record is a masterpiece, blues, freedom, nostalgia everything is here
Grandioso Chet. E' come avere un grande amico che ogni tanto ti fa visita. Ciao Chet!
Music like this is healing
Good morning !...I' m just floating away listening to this perfect sound to make feel less pain....forget the world...cool down and have a nica cup of coffee
A mi una copa de vino blanco
Chet Baker’s unique melodic phrasing was beautiful. He lived a tortured life but
was able to turn His pain into creativity.
Hello people, I'm studying right now and accidentally I found Chet Baker, Honestly, tomorrow i have final exam but i don't care cos "NO PROBLEM", this music makes me sadness, happiness, i'm full of hope. now i can focus on studying materials. but this music isn't for studying its for thinking about life. Good luck everyone.
Hi Mucha! Do you remember how was the exam?? Chet and Me hope you passed! If not, no problem!
everything was great :D thnx
this never gets old, it gets better..
I'm in my sixties now and have just begun to get into jazz. This is why I'm loving it already. The most chillin easy going vibes to talk to the parts of you only this kind of music can.
Deshalb Bro ,the two of us deserve Peace music alone
Yeah…..
First loved jazz age 55 - this year!
Loving all these positive comments everyone! Chet Baker bringing out the good in all of us
Sometimes i wonder why musicians and music lovers are such a kind loving people. I love it
Jazz has such a different appeal for me. Its a pretty new one, but I've noticed that in the past I always enjoyed it when I heard the genre played on kids shows like Hey Arnold or little Bill on Nick. I miss those days. I'm grown up now but I've realized this beautiful music is something I've been missing out on. Its hard to put to words. I can't help but feel its all good. Depending on the song it can evoke celebratory feelings of a party or gettogether; evoke relaxing feelings like being alone in your room just thinking about your life; or just be the general backtrack to your day and make sense of the hustle and bustle of daily life outside. When it comes to any other genre I'm nitpicking it or criticizing it at some level and pretty much waiting throughout the song to see if I like it or not. Waiting to see if the song is either good or bad acording to my ever changing standards of music. Not with Jazz. It improves the silence in a way, gives it personality, and doesn't feel like an activity to listen to. I really enjoy this album. This is just incredible.
When you can't put it in words, put it in jazz.
Very well put
great comment
I really love your word's and I can relate with them 🙏🏼

Human beings can be so beautiful. Listening to this art makes it seem a waste to be anything but.
You are my spirit animal.
yes , so true but ....were you ever a crocodile ?
one of the best things ever said in a long time. You are beautiful!
Thank you, for saying this. School is hard and I am stressed, but reading this made me feel ethereal.
The greatest escape from this world is music
I just found my cat who was lost for 24 hours...this music is helping me settle down
The beauty of Jazz music is that it is so accommodating.
Best time to listen to Chet is late night, alone, with drinks, and ciggarettes.
I'd opt for some good Sativa over drinks and cigarettes.
amen@@LorenzoNW
And here I am listening to it with my morning coffee; it's just as good....What a start to the day!
I'll pass on the cigarettes.
THAT :D Hugs!
It takes 70lbs pressure to blow a horn. Chet worked at 70.1 a lot. That's how he got his sound, right at the border. He's talkin' and music never lies.
The greatest weapon for a great world is great music!
This album opens up like a pathway to a nice city at night with bright lights and people laughing in the streets, a vision of a mundane heaven, where the chaos and the order goes along together, and as you walk you can glimpse Chet Baker playing in a small club with a selected few listening to his immortal trumpet, yeah!
❤
Can't believe I'm just finding this

you havent found this...music finds you ;)
It'never too late. Enjoy.
@@DGrann lol
@@user-jv6gi5fp2m that's right, no gatekeeping and no "then you're not a real fan", just enjoy the music instead of boasting how great your taste of music is. You're doing it right ^^
Usually I cannot work while listening to music but with this track it is possible. Cool Jazz
Chet is the all time...imho...romantic trumpet man of an era!RIP good man.
Imhotep of jazztrumpet ?(lol) respect for this great player ,he,s my favorit ,may he ,,fly,, in peace ,because he,s pretty fly for a white guy !!!
as smooth as walking in the clouds
Great moody sounds. Perfect for the darkness that seems to have enveloped the world.
This music and this comment section are both a boon to my soul. Thank you, friends!
yes, its so great. hätts nie gefunden ohne den youtube algotithmus. ich konnt sofort dazu improvisieren mit meinem sax. Thx so much :-)
FROM SPAIN....i have to say ....chet Baker REALLY IS GOOD MUSIC FOR ALL SENSES...! FOR ALL MOODS!!!!......LIVIN ON THE QUIT CAML ON ATMOSPHERE.......CERTAIN PEACE........ SPECIALLY FOR YOUR MIND!! GREETINGS FROM SOUTH OF SPAIN! NEVA BEEN TO USA! JAZZ .....ON THE MOOD!!
From the beginning to the end. Every second of this album is precious.
It is midnight, smoking the last cigar after a night in the bar. The cuban tastes fantastic, the whiskey is awesome and Chet brings all three together - music, alcohol and cigars.
I wouldn't know this but for youtube. I've listened to it perhaps 40 times over the last few years now.
I'm a lucky fella -just got done listening to Lee Morgan for a couple hours and now it's on to Chet Baker for a couple more! Life is great and aren't we blessed to have had these 2 gentleman play their horns just for us?
absolutely......
"No problem...it was a sultry eve....I was So Glad when i met Pat....and She kissed me in Spain....and the rest of the night was all Fuzzy...and she became my Queen and home to stay....sorry that others may have the Blues because they are jealous."....Thanks Chet and company you really helped through the years
Heute ist der 26.02.23, es ist 23:13, ich habe in mein journal geschrieben und morgen ist der erste Tag nach meiner knapp 1 1/2 jährigen Abwesenheit von der Arbeit. Ich bin im hier und jetzt, solche Momente sind selten.. Diesem Album, nein, diesem Meisterwerk mit all meiner Präsenz und Aufmerksamkeit zu lauschen, ist Balsam.

Despite the soul crushing heartache in most of my life, it's beautiful music like this and Mile, Coltrane, etc that added joy to it.
i intended to listen to this while writing an essay. 5 minutes into it and i've decided i am just enjoying the music and not giving the assignment in :) the power of music i guess
I just can't get tired of this album, my favorite so far
Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan were once called "the prettie faces of Hollywood". Drugs abuse affected Chet's carriere and disappeared for many years. However he's still a superb trumpetist. NHOP (RIP) was a master of double bass ever since he was a teenager. Thanks, Pedro for these beautiful tracks.
This is magic
Never had enough of Chet.
The breath of life
Chet Baker may be my favorite, "Soloist" of all time. Beautiful, melodic, always pertains to the beautiful melody of the song. Good ole Chet.
Thanks for posting! Very nice, had never listened to this one. Again, Thank you.
Perfect chill out music after a big night out.
Found this record in my local recordstore today, made me the happiest man on earth
I'm dying. Why am I hearing this now? Two of my favorite musicians playing together. Ahhhhhhhh
Impeccable playing, wonderful music, and the sound of the CD is shockingly good.
The greatest musical journey always needs a little jazz.
Beautiful
Listening to this after a long time and it feels comforting.😴
Every note has its meaning and function. As the pauses also have. Incredible lesson in every improv of this CD -- playing for the music, that is. Thank you Pedro, for upping.
I love this jam so much
I discovered Chet Baker just around one year ago, and since then he's my favorite to relax in those critical times. Cheers Pedro Nobrega!
Listening to this album while feeling down at 130 am lifts my spirits...and they are pretty low
Everything will be better tomorrow(tip: what a difference a day makes from Aretha )
Very few musicians can move me to the brink of tears. Chet Baker is one of them. He had a beautiful, tortured soul and it shines thru his music.
So beautiful to be in Bris Vegas with the moon shining listening to this magnificent music.
What a beautiful album, thanks so much for sharing this.
I was a little kid in the 70s,and I really have not much reason, but somehow I always feel a particular nostalgia and sentimentality for jazz music from 60s and 70s as it just seems so "right" and soothing to me, like it takes me in my mind back to a particular era that even thinking of how gritty and problematical many aspects of life were then, I still find a strange magic and beauty to those times in my mind and soul. Many great musicians ,artists, designers, and writers in those years.
Nowadays i think these musicians have evolved into the soul and hip hop side of things.
❤
