And he played very fast in the 1980s too. Check out his many versions of Leaving, which start out very slow and then get very fast halfway in. He was very fast in a great version of Love Vibrations too. And on Arborway in Tokyo. There are many examples of Chet playing very fast, extremely subtle pieces. But yes, the emotion and restraint are always there.
My second favorite jazz trumpet player, besides Miles Davis, RIP brother, gone too damn soon. All we have now is his music, which I listen all the damn time.
Chet's trumpet playing in the last decade of his life was much better than Miles in his last decade.... that is my humble opinion ... Miss them both 🎶🇺🇸🎼🎵
I’ve recently found Chet Baker on UTube since I saw his movie “Let’s Get Lost” in the 80’s in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I’ve watched many videos this past week of Chet and his life. I can’t form an opinion of this very talented man because of his heavy drug addiction. Except to say that I have started appreciating his musical talent. Although I don’t care for his singing voice. And I think his drug use thwarted his singing voice. But his instrumental talent in Jazz is undoubtedly the best. He is a genius in playing his instrument and playing Jazz. My heartfelt belief is that his indulgence of drugs made him into a very selfish man. In his movie I saw his wife and beautiful children in Oklahoma living in poverty without a way to contact him. And not knowing if and they would see him again. Where was his loyalty and dedication to his family? I guess he suffered from hurting others by dying at such an early age. RIP Chet Baker.
Chet was fine singer and musician long before drug addiction damaged him. He did take drugs early in his career but it didn’t seem to affect his music. I like him because of his music, what he did personally has little or relevance to me as I did not know him personally.
Beverly, your thought is typical of an ignorant woman, but you aren't alone there as that is most typical. You look at the world around you purely from the perspective of what you feel is a man's purpose, which you feel is to be there for women. If women were more intelligent, which they aren't, they'd understand how serving women is not the purpose of a man's life. A man doesn't sit in the nest and wait for everything to be brought to him, things, feelings, an emotional tampon, he's has to go out in the world and struggle through it. Not that women don't either but men always do it alone whereas women always get a helping hand in EVERYTHING they do. You call him selfish without even knowing his reasons. I'll teach you. Most users of drugs use to escape temporarily from emotional pain. You don't know his history. Besides that you don't understand the pressures placed on men as all you've ever been used to is to have people there to bail you out. Don't be an ignorant female ignorant of the lives of men sat there in your comfortable little nest built and paid for by some man or other all your pointless life.
What would be the recorded Chet Baker album closest to this? The sound of this concert is extremely cool and slick but yet very accessible… arguably some of his best work…
if you have a chance you should read "Deep in a Dream" by James gavin. his life was truley tragic and he wasnt the greatest person. although his music was beatiful.
Chet never overplayed, never tried to "wow" people with technique. He was all about timing, emotion, and expression. This sets him apart.
He played fast on a few early to mid 60s albums

He is the man, every tone he plays is the real one. I love his playing and singing. My hero.

@@tomsmith522 I cannot disagree with you on that.
"I'd be happy if I can milk another ten" he died 9 years later how prophetic?
このChetのビブラフォーンとのインタープレイは神話的に美しい💫
Waooo, genio de la trompeta Ch Baker, todo de memoria y ni que decir de su forma de improvisar e interpretar.

If drugs killed his singing voice then you'd enjoy his early vocal work? from the 50s and early 60s

14:48 the sync between the bass and piano is beautiful
Bello, meraviglioso.
Pure genius. R. I. P., Chet.
Pure Genius..My hero..
Simply the greatest
FANTASTIC! YEAH!!!
Pure unadulterated jazz......overall ONE CLASS ACT!
Playing like that with a set of dentures, unbelievable.
Was his tooth loss related to his drug use?
@@CraigStCyrPlus Well, in a way, he was attempting to buy drugs and got beat up is what I have read.
@@davenelms68 Yes. 1966, I believe. Although, he had one missing tooth in the front even before that.

2:46 is when the music starts. And what music it is.
1979: work another ten, and died in 88....
