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.
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 !
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
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....
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 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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Il est de Grande stature, de belle nature cet homme -extrêmement troué par où pénètre le Tout ! d'accord avec vous...moi l'ai découvert il y a bien des années sur mon oreiller "Au Cabaret du soir qui penche " émission radio animé (Radio Canada par Guy Maufette homme sensible qui offrait sens (ible à la nuit...
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.
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.
his playing at this concert was at a different level to anything else from that era. I gather he had to be pretty clean due to Japan laws on drugs. To me, his playing on this night (captured on the live in tokyo album) is his best ever.
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.
