Chet Baker - Time After Time [ Restored] 

If more people listened to this more often, the world would be a more peaceful place.

Chet covered this song many times through all his life, sometimes dense, sometimes uptempo, and sometimes even very uninspired. But this one, Belgium 1964 is the best of them all

I’ve already decided, this is going to be the song playing for my first dance with my future bride. Such a warm song

This is one of the most beautiful performances i have ever seen and heard

His singing is an extension of his trumpet playing. Excellent.

That flute player.. sitting there the entire song to play a single note at the end makes me giggle every time I watch this. Chet's solo here was nothing short of completely amazing.

A lot of people can play music, but no one else FELT it like Chet Baker.

I adore Chet's vocal. His straight tone, the intervals and extensions he chooses to hit...This is the best version of "Time After Time," imo, for sure. RIP Chet.

Well I’ve just had an uplifting evening crying over Chet Baker, move over Leonard Cohen, I’ve found someone new to die with. RIP beautiful man

I will never say that Chet Baker was a phenomenal singer, but there's something about his voice that just...works. and all things considered, he actually does sing extremely well. Keeping within his vocal range and never going off tune when he hits the higher notes. He's definitely in my top 10 of jazz singers.

This is what pop music now is missing.... Singing and playing with heart

The audio quality sound really good, and Chet sound amazing...

and time after time you hear me say that I'm so lucky to be... loving you... nobody interprets this song better than Mr. Baker.

The greatest doomer artist ever live RIP. your songs will still be playing some where in a space bar in the Distance future and Beyond.

What a gorgeous flugelhorn solo - absolute magic. Pure Chet.

I cannot hear this song and not cry....of missing you my dear dear Chet! forever alive in my heart

I wish I could go back in time to see Chet. One of my all time favourite Jazz artists.

So poignant. Nearly brings me to tears every time I listen. So good. Timeless.

Lyrics according to Genius: "Time after time I tell myself that I'm So lucky to be loving you So lucky to be The one you run to see In the evening when the day is through I only know what I know The passing years will show You've kept my love so young, so new And time after time You'll hear me say that I'm So lucky to be loving you [horn solo] I only know what I know The passing years will show You've kept my love so young, so new And time after time You'll hear me say that I'm So lucky to be loving you"

You know it's legendary when the second you hear the first piano note you unconsciously close your eyes to appreciate it

Roy Orbison and Chet Baker: Two angel voices ‼️😇😇

I am to get married 21/07 and this song is to be my first dance - what a great tribute to Chet

That trumpet Melody harmonized with the piano at 5:23 is sooo good

Bass - Luigi Trussardi • Drums - Franco Manzecchi • Flute - Jacques Pelzer • Piano - René Urtreger | Recorded in Brussels (Belgium) on May 2, 1964 by R.T.B.

wonderful.

How he holds that note at 5:07 and the piano kicks in is ultimate musicianship

Damn learning his solo by heart is a joy, especially when ur instrument is also tuned in Bb

this is absolutely breathtaking

He reaches in and grabs my heart. Hard...

The other thing about Chet is that I want to listen when he sings. His soulfulness captures my attention the way few other singers can.

Incomparable, hauntingly beautiful.

the lows sound so much fuller and the high end is cleaner in this. Sounds so great

I've been crying for 12 minutes straight

The best, most beautiful version of this standard. The quintessence of his trumpet playing and unique singing style. Sounds like an angel. 😊Chet was an icon of a jazz musician.

i listened to this yesterday at my best friend's house, just a few days before his departure to another city, looking for a better opportunity. just listening to this, an 11 year old rioja wine that symbolized our friendship since we were in the university since 2008. just talking about our life's expectations and experiences throughout the years, and our love dissapointments and gals that went away as well. just true..raw...talk...and listening to this. shed manly tears, and nothing held back. no homo, needless to say. and indeed, with a few instruments, yet it gets very sentimental.

The beauty of this and his lyricism are unmatched...

Everything comes to a halt; my ears rejoice - my heart beats as slowly as possible not to disturb the music, it wishes to completely stop. It's hard for me to find something better than this, visually and acoustically. This is the zenith of music, of talent, of a man. every emotion we have isn't developed enough to respond to this. My hearing can leave me at 6:47 for I have heard the most beautiful thing.

I'm in love.

This shows what it means to play with emotion.

His love songs are lovely

Time after time's chet baker tribute by Miles Davis...don´t forget. Just precious. we will love you from Ragtime club in Zaragoza (Spain). Fly High in our Dreams Chet.

the best cool jazzer ever---unpretentious..always outside

You Can feel his soul!! He's truly a great singer for me, with a very great affection to the listener!! He has this incredible connection.😢❤️!!! He can calm a broken hearted or a very barbaric heart!!! He can make you fall inlove.. oohhh what an artist!!! How i wish i had the chance to see his performance live.

This is a fabulous restoration of a great performance.

This is one of my dad's favorite artist that I've forgotten thanks to V for helping me remember old memories. Now I'm missing my dad, it's nice feeling.

We still need this superb way of life. Thanks Mr Baker. What a sweet moment...

Listening to Chet, no more comments are needed.

Achingly beautiful and incredibly sad

Every time I come back to this and listen closely, it makes me re-feel every emotion I have felt in my life.

Perfect Pitch is a talent and Chet has it.

Happy birthday legend 🥳🎈

thank you so much for restoring this...

Pure chill.

Such an artist 🙌🏾

Dear dear Chet . . .

Was there. Chet is the anthem to his time.

Song has touched me so much, that I'v never before in my life wanted to sing along with a song as badly as I'v sung with this one. True inspiration, the other of course is Nat King Cole

This is my favorite rendition of this song. Thank you for cleaning up and uploading this.

4:27 almost sounds flute-like. So good!

In the hush of midnight's shadowed tune, Chet's trumpet weeps beneath the moon. Notes like teardrops softly fall, Echoes of a melancholy call. In smoky rooms where shadows dance, Chet's horn weaves a forlorn romance. A solitary sigh, a lonesome cry, As melodies of heartache amplify. His trumpet whispers tales untold, Of love that's young, and love grown old. Through muted brass, a mournful plea, A requiem for lost ecstasy. A lonely street, a dim-lit bar, Chet's music drifts like a fading star. In every chord, a soul laid bare, A sonnet of sorrow suspended in air. Each breath he takes, a heavy sigh, A wistful echo, a muted goodbye. Through amber notes, the pain unfolds, A symphony of sorrows, stories untold. The night embraces the mournful sound, As Chet's trumpet weeps, unbound. A ballad etched in shadows deep, In the music of Chet, the sadness seeps.

There seems to be only one current jazz artist that is carrying on in the Chet Baker style. A girl. A young woman musical prodigy. She is Andrea Motis who sings in perfect pitch, plays exquisite trumpet, and performs with the rhythm and style style of the jazz greats. She lives in Barcelona. You can find her performance videos all over RU-vid.

One of my best friends showed me this back around 2013 or so eternally grateful thanks Bob

His playing was so incredibly tasteful

Maybe his peak for vocals and playing...always loved him.

his voice is identical to his trumpets voice. extraordinary

Automáticamente se me nublan los ojos con esta versión de Chet,Romántico,impresionista..Chet es un Icono del siglo XX ...incomparable

Estos son los verdaderos cantantes los que cantan y tocan con el corazón, y con ese sentimiento.

My favorite song ever, this is my inner fire

Chet is one of my favorites by a mile, so melodic

Golden just golden

Haunting

Unique and totally cool. Chet had a tone that’s just magical. Inspiring and never forgotten.

Beautiful playing, wonderful .....

Deep warming performance.

A trip through the stars....

Chet wonderful trumpet and his singing!,

Imagine dancing with someone in a moonlit room alone then this song plays while you dance

Just perfect...

healing vibe

Thank you for this !!

Most beautiful sound ever

Young Chet

This takes me back to my childhood. My neigbour would play the hellout of his trumpet but he was no Chet. His was pure torture. This more than makes up for those days. Thanks Chet.

This version my favorite one in own world. It's true. Thank you Chet! R.I.P

This music stops time.

Even without one front tooth, he's magical.

This is perfectly beautiful to hear, but painfully hard to watch, seeing the damage already done and knowing the damage to come.

Gets me everytime

Great songs lives forever!!!! 😍😍😍

What a lovely and touching improvisation.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JAZZ.. WOW CHET BAKERS MUSIC IS AMAZING... RIP. THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THAT ANYMORE * VERY FEW OF THE SONGS AND MUSIC WRITING TODAY IS A NO BRAINER

And even SING like that...

Absolutely gorgeous... Such a lovely song, that I'd never heard before, and of course delivered in that lovingly gentle stream of light that is Chet Baker's voice, the perfect characteristic to a similarly gorgeous face; however: I think in a way, one can look through the soothing haze of the vibe in this recording and see how the broken, damaged man that Baker was becoming actually lends itself to a kind of tragic melancholy that I think can also be read. If anyone isn't familiar with Chet Baker's story, I strongly suggest reading his Wikipedia page. A painful life for such a promising young musician, Chet was a fierce heroin addict. The page says he started using heroin in the 50's and would have been addicted in the 60's, sometimes getting arrested in countries where he was performing or he would he found trying to pawn his instruments for drug money. This recording is from 1964, so I think it would have been around the peak of his abuse. What looks like a missing tooth in this video says it all for me. The pain kind of etches itself into his face, the way the heroin degraded his dreamy boyish features over the years - looking at pictures closer to the time of his death, he was 58 but he looked like he could have been 80. He fell out hotel window, supposedly high, I think.

What a masterpiece¡¡¡¡ hope there is somebody you can dedicate it to....Magical⚘

Chet Baker, sempre muita emoção nas suas interpretações.

I still miss him so much!

One of my favourites EVER!❤️
