Chet Baker - Bye Bye Blackbird (1985) 

It is always hard to watch Chet without admiring his musicianship and wanting to give him a hug and tell him everything is going to be OK. "Come home Chet and get something to eat"

Chet had such a cool sound it sounds like he's blowing his horn through a block of ice, R.I.P Chet. there will never be another like you.

one of the coolest cats to ever live, right up there with miles and hendrix

Chet Baker was Chet Baker. I love his jazz music, piano, and trumpet. Also,his singing could move one to tears. RIP 🙏 ❤ A beatiful soul that bleed with every note.

Chet’s breath support is amazing, even hunched over in a deep soft chair. Every entrance is perfect and supported, even at low volume. And of course, he is the very definition of “doing it with your eyes closed!”

It's wonderful to keep listening to Chet Baker, I always listen to him at night with the headphones on with good sound and only when the family is sleeping, it's my antidote to depression ✌️

When i first heard chet play, i was so confused cuz i never heard a trumpet sound so breathy and smooth, with hardly any sibilance if not at all. His control is just insane

Chet was the definition of a hopeless romantic.

Chet was such a magical player. I sat in on a gig he was in with Sonny Stitt back in the late 70's.

He's still with us ❤️

I've listened to this solo at least 10 times and every time I hear I'm floored. He simply OWNS harmonic structure. I think it may be the most brilliant solo I've ever heard and he tosses it of as if he were ordering a salad.

When I was in 8th & 9th grade in Brooklyn, New York, USA, (September, 1963 - June, 1965) I had never heard of Chet Baker, yet his sound was what I had in miming and my heart

This is such an amazing solo, it's one of my favorite from Baker. If you play jazz on any instrument, learn to play this by ear!

C est sans doute deux des meilleurs accompagnateurs ,pour c ette période.

Drank & Drugs maakt meer kapot wat je lief is !! Fijne dag toegewenst Groetjes uit Nederland Provincie Groningen R.I.P ❤🇳🇱 🙏🎺🌹

Wonderful trio very good pianist, excellent trunpet and fantastic bass.

I wish I could understand what it is that makes his playing so beautiful. He seems to be using the same sort of concepts as other players but there’s just that mysterious quality of genius in his playing. Would love to ask him how he thinks about melody.

The pianist here is, surprisingly, Red Mitchell, and what a fine accompanist he is.

They've done it beautifully...

as much as you may love armstrong dizzy miles and many other greats as a trumpet player myself nobody and i mean nobody had that wonderfull haunting sound and incredible delivery that chet had rip and god bless you chet sadly missed

Amazing how Chet creates this special atmosphere when he plays.

Man, I just love the lush sound that is Chet! 🎺👍

I'm digging chet doing his usual cool soulfull thing and feeling so laid back. ........then out of nowhere a sudden mood change......the cool tragic demeanour of his horn snaps me out of my slumber and leaves wide awake ..... Chet suddenly bursts into an upbeat version of "have you met miss Jones ? " from a lively finger snapping tempo he goes into a frenetic double time. The CAT is on fire,smoking his ass off!!! In that mood nobody can touch him...........

What an incredible session!

Thanks I loved his sound...

Chet's phrasing ..always swings... subtle.. .. what a player...!

Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, singing low, Bye-bye Blackbird. Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet, so is she, Bye-bye Blackbird. No one here can love and understand me. Oh, what hard-luck stories they all hand me. Make my bed and light the light I'll arrive late tonight, Blackbird, Bye-bye.

I wish I had an accompanist like Michel Grailler!

Made my night. Living the bass tone too! Love you Chet!!

His note choice is so unpredictable yet melodic : he WAS cool jazz

Formidable colección de Gazell Videos

I played the trumpet when i was young,. I wish i sounded like chet!

I took up playing Bb trumpet recently. I try to play the Arban, Clarke, Wurm, Cichowicz, Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5, etc... and of course, play along with the jazz greats. My life is blessed with great music and musicians - especially Chet Baker.

SO much Beauty !!! .....and melancholy ......

El mejor, con una voz melódica en su trompeta, insuperable

Chet was unbelievable, this video came on as I was reading something on another page, I decided to flip back to see which studio album it was and to my surprise it turned out to be live. He always had perfect note selection.

Awesome , that Trumpet Chet plays has a loot of dings and dents yet Chet makes it sound like liquid velvet !

Chet.. one of a kind.. like the pianist.. think I met the bassist, Rafonsinni, if I'm right, in Buenos Aires around 2004...great stuff, create to last until the end of time..

Ogni volta che lo ascolto, Chet mi parla 🤗

JUST; LOVELY ! THANKS , CHET !

the one and only big boss chet baker

Maravilloso !! Cuánta pasión en los músicos!!.

He send mi higner then i never was . Love-Love!

I always felt like Chet got up at midnight, got a shower, had some breakfast, a smoke, and whatever else he did, then took a cab to do his 2 a.m. set. This is just not meant to start until then.

Read his bio: Chet Baker: Deep in a Dream. You'll be amazed at his drug intake. A sad, tragic, disturbing story of a lot of talent gone off the rails.

The unbelievable pain of genius

When I was a kid, all my trumpet buddies wanted to be Maynard. I wanted to be Chet.....

Chet...soulful genius

The best.

Uhm! So tasty. The bass solo is soooooo nice. Everything is sooooo nice. What great artistry is given to us here!!!!!

RIP Sean Lock, we miss your hilarity!

fantastico Chet, unico il tuo suono ed unico il tuo mood. Grazie.

Era un genio

So beautiful thanks

The google algorithm brought me here and I love it.

wonderful version, reminds me of the recordings Chet did with Doug Raney and NHOP

Just listened to about 20 videos of BBB, this is the only one which actually digs into the subtleties of the chord structure. At last, some respect for the writer. Even great musicians can sometimes be a little lazy :) Of course I do not include Nina Simone's take, which is pure untamed genius.

The pianist Michel Graillier is fantastic.

Chopin de la trompeta: Chet Baker

Aahhh, Pripps beer, recorded in Sweden.

I met Chet in Tulsa at the 9 of Cups. That was 1982. Frank Adams, alto; Frank Brown Guitar; Ted Adams, bs; Ron Adams, ele bs; Wade Robertonson, dms. It is on a Milestone CD 9191 - 2. He played two gigs at the time: that one and one with a big band. In the band recording he played more in the style of early Miles.

🌸😃🌱💚

RIP

what a pity that this marvellous film, testimony to a great artist at the height of his expressiveness, is so out of sync with the audio... could someone who knows more about video editing restore it and give it the dignity it deserves for the history of jazz? it would be a beautiful gesture of love for Chet.

I been looking for a video of him playing "But Not For Me." Can anyone refer me.

Chet was so stoned out of his mind.

Does anybody know which exact model of horn he is playing here?

Wonderful Chet, Which mouthpiece is? Very nice concert incredible...

💙💙💙

A very nice understated bass line to this version. Who's playing?...

Is Chet using a mute here? It’s a little hard to tell, but I assume he is not?

レジエンドちよっと寂しいね

Who's the bass player? Anyone knows?

Quien es el pianista ??

5:25

Who's playing the piano, though?

Granted many will think this a really stupid question, but taking all elements and factors into account, isn’t Miles Davis hands down more supremely gifted than Chet Baker? I don’t want to incite a riot here. In the final analysis, I suppose it’s all a matter of personal preference... and respecting one another’s personal tastes. My favorite trumpeter happens to be Clifford Brown!

anyone have the sheet music for this?

On a borrowed trumpet...

Non capisco i 31 incompetenti che si permettono di mettere pollice inverso a uno dei più grandi trombettisti di tutti i tempi...evidentemente non caiscono cosa sia la poesia tradotta in note e sicuramente non sono competenti di questo strumento tanto superbo quanto difficile che è la tromba. Non ho mai sentito suonare nessuno come Chet la tromba come fosse un flicorno riguardo al timbro scuro e poi una facilità di emissione sconcertante con quel soffio così sotto controllo sempre, ma naturalmente per chi ha messo il pollice inverso quel che dico risulterà sicuramente arabo ...vi do un consiglio andate ad ascoltare i rappers ...ignoranti ...

How are the piano player
