Chet was so sharp here because he did not have access to heroin in Japan. Plain and simple. This is the most clean he had been in many years and it shows.
@@wallacecleaver4485 it’s documented that he only had access to methadone and alcohol while in Japan. The country has some of the strictest drug laws of any, especially so in the 80’s. Paul McCartney was jailed for 9 days after smuggling half a pound of pot into Japan, and if he hadn’t been a celebrity, could have faced 7 years of forced labor. I forgive you for calling me an imbecile, because unlike you, I don’t insult complete strangers.
После его зачарованной и прекрасной музыки, -- трудно переключаться на других исполнителей, ....... Чет просто великолепен ! И это чистейший джаз, ! Спасибо всем , кто пишет о нём , , .... 💜🌟💜
To think Chet was struggling with addiction most if not all his Life, and was quite near the end here, and STILL could perform like this shows the SuperHero he was and continues to be in my daily Life.
This is music from Heaven...He plays the trumpet hypnotically...I must have replayed this Valentine deal over 400 times over and over...I can't stop....
One of the best trumpet improvisation of all times, and I heard A LOT. Musical inspiration is out of this world, listen carefully to the choice of notes, how he smoothly tights the whole harmonic development together while at the same time playing only fresh ideas in a perfect construction - and of course as everyone else said, with such a deep and moving feeling... unreal performance here !
Chet is the kind of guy most people brush off early as musicians, but somehow if you come back for a second round, you realize that there's so much more under the surface, and you get mesmerized, carried away. RIP Mr Baker, you will always be an inspiration.
This is the meaning of being an artist: telling a life story with the heart 💙 Thank you Chet for making me be a jazz artist. I’ll be forever grateful for that day you saved my life. Hope I can honor you one day
i did'nt like jazz.. i never learn it. Some mounths ago i start to play clarinet in a private school. Now, thanks to Chet, i play jazz every day and i could play it forever
This is the jazz I love. I love all kinds of music but I find that by reading the comments for jazz videos that the genres music fans are tthe fans that really know what to listen for in music. They understand that music is conversation, feel and technical prowess all harnessed into a musical canvas that, once created, may never be duplicated. This is what makes jazz musicians so unique and their fans so unique as well.
The Live in Tokyo album is simply astonishing. His playing is on a different level to so many before and after this recording- just glad we got to hear him play like this!
This version makes me feel emotional. Baker seems like a very poignant and sensitive person. Looking at his face while he plays I can see the ravages of time and experience. He really gets to the heart of this song. I love listening to his soothing voice and playing in the wee hours when I am studying and all is quiet. And his fellow musicians too, they are a great ensemble. Love you Chet Baker.
Магия исполнения Чета Бейкера - в ней хранится какой то большой секрет, ....... Сколько бы не слушала, - хочется ещё и ещё , ..... Снова, и снова, , .... Благодарю Бога, что подарил миру Чета , Бейкера ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I never Chet Baker and deeply regret it. He had such feeling for melodic sound---setting ones mood with every note. Just simply great expression and improvisation....what a great talent
Pure bliss. The audience was blessed to see such a performance. When I hear this song , this performance... the emotion is so raw , so real , so amazing , so powerfull, damn I wish I was there. Love this performance . his age increases the songs meaning like a fine wine. the sincerity he plays with. This is no b.s. this man has lived it at this point. He plays with experience and knowing and when I listen to this it brings me to tears that something can sound so good , so real.
Chet Baker, canta y ejecuta la trompeta , gracias por tu música , cuánto nos gustaría que estés aún con nosotros en estos tiempos difíciles de pandemia y nos alegras la vida Chet.
damn i never even saw this pianist before, but he's swingin like hell, plays my funny valentine and not just its changes, and feels every note. great stuff
I don't know why, but I only cried when I looked at and listened to this video. Chet defintely was the boss of bosses, a kind of messiah!!! For sure we will never see and hear in our lives a more gifted talent than he was...

As a beginner trumpet player I sincerely thank the cameraman for capturing the valve combinations chets playing here, it helps me learn some of his licks to incorporate into my own playing
Precisely! ...It's music from HEAVEN! ...No other way to describe it. ...Chet brought feelings from deep SOUL and HEART, and expressed them in the highest musical artfulness.
A lot of the things Chet played - I can't get enough of. This however, even for Chet, is special. His "Autumn Leaves" with Paul Desmond is another I can't get enough of.
My dad & Mr Baker hung out together when he came to Pittsburgh he came over to our house all the time for a spaghetti dinner its cool that i broke bread with this man but even more amazing Chet said my dad was one of the best horn players he ever met and was one of the only men he respected in the music industry
Ah, the ultimate version of his signature tune. The solo is a destillation of all the qualities Chet had refined over a fort year career. Pure musical wisdom!
240 p video, so sad for such a masterpiece. My funny valentine is one of my favourite song ever and this one made by Chet is probably the best I've ever heard with the Sarah's Vaughan version of 69' out of dozens and dozens.
This performance of Chet Baker reminds me of my favorite opera composer, Richard Wagner: a deeply flawed man capable of creating music that moves us and manipulates us in ways we can hardly perceive.
I have one thing to thank my ex for....... introducing me to the fabulous Chet Baker :) I have so many of his albums and never get tired of listening to them.
Some music just makes the tears flow, joy on Earth, joy in Heaven. Gods probably crying with the joy of all of his great singers and musicians. Chet's one of them.
Chet this is your best rendition, by far. Saw your mesmerising performances several time live in Nick’s Jazz Joint in Laren Holland, during the 70’s. But this playing here with outstanding backing -takes the cake-! You’re sorely missed, and i’m sure you’re now playing to the angels in all their be wonderment. Thank you & Cheers!

His journey in Japan was actually one of his healthiest moments. He was unable to find heroin there and played his concerts with just some drinks. If you watch videos from a few years later in the Netherlands... THERE he was in very poor health.
Samir Mokdad Thank you Samir. From the first time I listened to Chet Baker, I was mesmerized with both his Horn as with his vocals. I listen to him at every chance that I get. It puts me in another world, a very nice world all of my own. What a talent!

Nay Japan was Big H
...
He could have traveled with some smack.....
Smack heads are not Daft...
I wasn't
Chet Baker in Tokyo is one of the finest recorded concerts ever.
So true!
I agree, I would lo me to buy it but no way
Yup- this is a Chet Baker we seldom heard. His playing on this album is, to me, his best ever
He's one of the finest recorded artists ever
@@martinbaum5354 MQ
The pianist deserves a medal
he's great.
To think Chet was struggling with addiction most if not all his Life, and was quite near the end here, and STILL could perform like this shows the SuperHero he was and continues to be in my daily Life.
you are right, he died not long after this
I hope Chet hears me as he plays his beautiful music in Heaven. I love you Chet!
Errr
This is music from Heaven...He plays the trumpet hypnotically...I must have replayed this Valentine deal over 400 times over and over...I can't stop....
bless you, ROCKY
me too. just hypnotic....
Perhaps he now plays lead trumpet in heaven.
me too......simply stunning.
Simply beautiful!!
This song alone deserves a 10-minute standing ovation.
張心哲 Only??? That's too short!!! :)
Wlling to give this song and performance a 10 YEAR ovation! LOve you Chet!

Nice analysis of the solo, my friend. I paid attention and yes, you are right...
Chet Baker is a musician whereby every cell of his body embodies Jazz
Chet is the kind of guy most people brush off early as musicians, but somehow if you come back for a second round, you realize that there's so much more under the surface, and you get mesmerized, carried away. RIP Mr Baker, you will always be an inspiration.
How true. It´s disgusting how this genius is casually written off by, especially american, critics.
I’m becoming a fan of that “cool” era of jazz but this a.m. is great!!
Have always loved Chet singing My Funny Valentine. Lovin that era of jazz❤
That synchopation on the double bass against the drums... !!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing better... ever.
Like a gently bubbling stream.
This is the meaning of being an artist: telling a life story with the heart 💙
Thank you Chet for making me be a jazz artist. I’ll be forever grateful for that day you saved my life. Hope I can honor you one day

Music like this is addictive once you get a taste for it.
I could listen to Chet Baker for hours.
Hauntingly beautiful
Tears well up as soon as the first note of that horn hits. Wow! This is as near to perfect as music gets.
This music is truly made in heaven
i did'nt like jazz.. i never learn it. Some mounths ago i start to play clarinet in a private school. Now, thanks to Chet, i play jazz every day and i could play it forever
I cry when I hear that horn...or the voice! Vaya con dios, Chet, and thank you so!
Tokyo is a holy city for the jazz muse. Rock on Chet!

I think this is my favourite of all time. Such an outstanding performance.
A comment like thisjust warms my heart. Why ´don´t more listeners hear the magic? Cheers, brother!
Right. Better than Miles Davis on this song.
Perfect. Like he plays from another planet or universe to us. Just perfect, almost holy.
Not holy - Bakery!
I never Chet Baker and deeply regret it.
He had such feeling for melodic
sound---setting ones mood with every
note.
Just simply great expression and
improvisation....what a great
talent
Possibly his greatest performance. Certainly his chops were up for this one. Such depth of emotion.
I need more music like this. Some of these Chet recordings are straight MAGIC!

The greatest trumpet solo of all time --- it brings tears to my soul
damn i never even saw this pianist before, but he's swingin like hell, plays my funny valentine and not just its changes, and feels every note. great stuff
THIS IS A PHENOMINAL PIECE OF AMERICAN JAZZ & CHET BAKER IS UNDERRATED .
GOD BLESS JAZZ MUSIC.
His face is worth a thousand words. Tragically beautiful.
I don't know why, but I only cried when I looked at and listened to this video. Chet defintely was the boss of bosses, a kind of messiah!!! For sure we will never see and hear in our lives a more gifted talent than he was...
БРАВО, СУПЕР, УНЕКАЛЬНО🎉🎉🎉
He can tell a whole story without words
True master artist with a lifetime of scars and experience coming out of that horn !
One magic sentence! You nailed it!
This is one of my favorite trumpet solos. It just speaks to me from his heart.
Le génie est une fête et échappe à tout jugement, à toute catégorie et à toute critique. On salut et c'est suffisant. Quelle splendeur...

Chet Baker in Tokyo..awesome show
this is absolutely mesmerizing.
One of the greatest Jazzmusican all times Incredible player

Fantastic! Amazing! Brilliant! Genius!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow, I'm astounded! Best of Chet I've seen.
One of the greatest of all time. Absolutely amazing!
Happy Birthday Chet, what a stellar reading this is, Joe, I think you're right, perhaps the best.
It IS his greatest reading, stat!
A lot of the things Chet played - I can't get enough of. This however, even for Chet, is special. His "Autumn Leaves" with Paul Desmond is another I can't get enough of.
Shiver down my spine whenever I listen to this.
I know the feeling very well
If, Charlie Parker, was the King of, Be-Bop, then, Chet Baker, was the King of Cool-Bop !!
Exquisite... Thank you Chet Baker, you were incomparable.

Une rythmique de tonnerre. J'adore cette version.
Thanks !
Ah, the ultimate version of his signature tune. The solo is a destillation of all the qualities Chet had refined over a fort year career. Pure musical wisdom!
Caro Chet.... molte volte mi aiuti nelle difficolta della vita. grazie Alessandro.
Chet Baker left an indelible mark on the soundscapes of music.

Uau! Lindo!
The one and only!
Amo Chet.Pianista sustenta maravilhosamente. O baixista destrói .Criatividade de todos os sons.
I am speechless! The sole just sends shivers down my spine! Excellent stuff.
Of all the renditions I have heard, and there have been many, this is my favorite. Captures me and bathes me every time I listen to it.
Yes, this is his final and ultimate statement of this tuene! True magic.
truly love his work, his playing is so wonderful....
A melhor versão de todos os tempos!!! Simplesmente fantástico!!!!
I wish I could have known him-? Maybe next world!!!♥️♥️♥️
brings a tear to your eye
This performance of Chet Baker reminds me of my favorite opera composer, Richard Wagner: a deeply flawed man capable of creating music that moves us and manipulates us in ways we can hardly perceive.
He was an angel , tryin' to live among us..
So well said!
What a beautiful piece of art... Love his rendition vocally and instrument ally
Such songs make me cry, incredible !
This song just rips my soul out each time i listen to it.....Chet You are the best.....
A voice and a performer from another age. Ooozes soul.
Wonderful
That interpretation so wonderful, incredible improvisation
I have one thing to thank my ex for....... introducing me to the fabulous Chet Baker :) I have so many of his albums and never get tired of listening to them.
you are the greatest, RIP Chet.
Lesson of music soul and heart...
I mean, this is the right way to sing it!!! love it!!!
This Trio in itself is incredible...
Thank God for a man such as this.
Some music just makes the tears flow, joy on Earth, joy in Heaven. Gods probably crying with the joy of all of his great singers and musicians. Chet's one of them.
I'm convinced he sprinkles magic dust over these songs --- the indefinable Chet Baker touch.
.
Absolutely fantastic !
There will never be another Chet Baker.
Chet this is your best rendition, by far. Saw your mesmerising performances several time live in Nick’s Jazz Joint in Laren Holland, during the 70’s. But this playing here with outstanding backing -takes the cake-! You’re sorely missed, and i’m sure you’re now playing to the angels in all their be wonderment. Thank you & Cheers!
Great performance, chet has always been my favorite. I made three paintings of him as a Jazz artist.
This performance is lethally beautiful.

Chet Baker was fabulous! My Funny Valentine with Chet Baker for every day.
Amazing. He was in poor health and still produced this.
kevin frost And the 41 people who voted this thumbs down have no fucking soul. I am convinced of it.
Pardon my french.

Strenght and sensibility together...what a feeling. AMAZING
I have to listen to this version once in a while to purge out all the Lousy versions that I am forced to sit through...
Great comment, gave me a good laugh. Hahaha.
God bless you Chet,always in my heart man
Труба + вокал. Отличное сочетание в рамках джаза. Редкая запись, кстати. Спасибо.
One of the greatest live performers in jazz. Never played a solo the same way twice.
Simply, the best!!!
Indeed Edward Sanchez, Chet's "My Funny Valentine" is the best among all others who performed it...Real cool !!...
Samir Mokdad Thank you Samir. From the first time I listened to Chet Baker, I was mesmerized with both his Horn as with his vocals. I listen to him at every chance that I get. It puts me in another world, a very nice world all of my own. What a talent!
