Chet Baker - Tenderly

[27sepulchre]

He was the best and I think this must have been recorded before he lost his front teeth to the drug barons in Amsterdam.

[kazu50000]

I love this song for night time.

[chrctrnm]

Thank you Bartender

[BrendonSmall456]

thanks for listening bartender

[TsKovochenko]

@BrendonSmall456 rk9.

[5507156693]

To me the most soulful trumpet player to date

[fourwindsoh]

All musicians should learn emotion like is heard here. It's true to the music.

[MusikVidenskab]

Chet baker plus rainymood. com

[bluesoulady]

o god no one can play this instrument like chet

[dtinnerello]

dtinerello@aol.com i am thinking that I miss a jazz trumpet that makes a statement for our times. Chet is wonderfully romantic and beautiful- horn and voice. I too love the image...a tribute indeed to a jazzman

[aerofredywr]

If this is "Cool" I cant´t imagine what "Hot" would be.

[reygood1]

What a beautiful music. I like it much better than Justin Bieber's music.

[OscarLimaMike]

Just beautiful....



[ILiveOnMyBoat]

God bless Chet and God bless my grandad for bringing music like this into my life.

[Jgerman]

@ILiveOnMyBoat I love your comment, my dad also introduced to me jazz many years ago. Like chet and your grandad my dad will be listening in the stars :)

[javonblue]

@Noam1ma make it five with no soul

[mistynana]

すばらしい～＾＾＠

[Caseysmom2]

love reading through these comments; such beautiful expressions of appreciation to one of our greatest musicians....thanks for posting.

[sevildrib]

Chet cooks this one so tender it's bleu >>> seasoned to perfection with tremendous accompaniment a beatifully rare piece to savour.

[Kondoritoblue]

Chet Baker: Si Dios le preguntó que hizo con sus talentos, de seguro que Chet sacó su trompeta y se puso a tocar

[Diogenes1360]

Whatever man gives me . . In true devotion: Fruit or water, A leaf , a flower: I will accept it. That gift is love, His heart's dedication.

[MrVonBriesen]

thanks chet, wherever your soul rest may receive my gratitude... this is behind the beuty!!

[gabri3l367]

Grande Chet Baker !!! La musica suonata con il cuore. I musicisti che lo accompagnano sono fantastici. Oggi giorno è difficile ascoltare queste cose. Il contrabasso è di grande aiuto dinamico per tromba e pianoforte e il batterista è molto ritmico con grande scansione e feeling.

[Noam1ma]

4 people doesn't have soul

[jfsn1212]

This is so called music!

[sbbchulise]

this is music i loved

[mikhail21393]

Wonderful Music! Makes you cry but it's good for the body and the soul.

[mikhail21393]

This song is also played on The Sopranos S1 Ep3

[dyamarick]

Wonderful. Can someone tell me, where this painting comes from? I would like to obtain a copy. Is there a title or artist name? Thanks for posting this recording. I'm wanting more...

[Coui0112358]

@dyamarick it s a photo not a painting i added a little paint effect to it with a photo editor...

i simply found that picture with a pictures search engine something like 1 year ago

but now happen to be no more there..that s everything i know about it

[Mazurka1001]

@dyamarick

Yeah, I also like your photo editing.

Chet is the king of cool.

[SultanOfHell]

@dyamarick It's the cover art from the "Love for Sale" album. Search for it on Amazon (YouTube won't let me post links).

[Cramscorpion]

@dyamarick Noticed it changes colour throughout the video? Don't think a painting can do that, but I agree, it looks very good.

[cindy925ya]

OMG~this is so damn sexy~~~Love this <3

[DevonDandy]

Such a laid back brilliantly understated interpretation, and what a contrast from the relentless noises pushed out by today's pop industry, long may we listen to this talented man

[dyamarick]

@DevonDandy

Yes indeed. Found this by accident. Trying to find where the image came from in the color changing video. I would like to paint this. Listened to this rendition about 10 times in the last two days!

[jsnale]

cooooooll jazzzz

[e30m3drift]

this is my favorite jazz :)

[7kurisu]

I'm relatively new to jazz, but boy, it sure blows other genres out of the water simply in terms of sheer mood...probably virtuosity, too

[veritasvita]

The illustration is really very nice and vivid. Who's the artist?

[evilgenius151]

@veritasvita

I did that. you can check out some of my other work. ill send you link

[SophisticatedSound]

Hard to top this.

[Armafly]

The intensity of his interpretation is unique.

[AMPMZM]

so very exquisite!

[rapier5]

It's almost impossible to strip the context from musical performance, who plays, who wrote it. Still, try. It's just the sound, in time, that really matters. Not who makes it, why or how, saint or monster.

[MrRoeilevy]

blow the horn, baby.

[terrryc]

Chet's sound haunts you after the song is over. Miles does that to me, too, but not on the same level. it's as if Chet gives you a hint as to what the Smack (Heroin) actually feels like....

[Zombiemouse123]

@terrryc hehehe yeah, try with count basie ;)

[bedana22emc]

Como me ha gustado!!!!.

[57dogsbody]

maybe a toothless junkie ,but when you can play with THAT tone and so much soul and feeling you dont need to use fancy chops and throw high notes about .Chet breaks my heart.

[marazm1]

what "that sound"? Toothless junkie who looked like "the meth face", had a range of a person who has been barely playing, with a harsh-sounding female voice, who couldn't probably read music, who fell out of a window while being stoned out of his mind at 58. Great.

[JokinJoe]

I like Chet's soft approach. He doesn't play it so harshly like others tend to do.

[apsomar]

Clfford was incredible but Chet was better playing balads

[49marius]

suono magico

[49marius]

suono magico

[LessPonTheVibes]

Indescrivibile

[sincaps100]

emozionante.

[rienzied]

I have listed to Chet, and his emotions are just so strong in the way he brings it out when he plays the trumpet. He plays almost every song like its his last...now that is a gift

[Akbaaz]

Chet...he played ballads like his heart had just been broken. 

[williamclark247m]

chet was incredible!!

[afrosheen6]

Chet Baker was a musical giant. Personally, i would put him right up there with Miles. It's so sad the way his life ended, terrible waste...

[erresiempre]

Anyone does have the music sheet of this great tune for trumpet? Thanks for sharing this! :)

[terrryc]

This should be the background music for couples laying in bed next to each other after good sex......

[ImpioFuror]

@terrryc That's what I used to do... oh god, how do I miss her...

[JubalCalif]

@terrryc

Ha! I totally agree! You have wonderful taste in music!

:-)

[luizcomp]

It looks easy but no one can play like this. Miss you Chet...........

[Thrasheddd]

@luizcomp think you mean it "sounds" easy.

[nancyassis]

Wonderful!

[Sylle532]

Can someboby tell when this is recorded and who the other musicians are

[musicalfab]

....so touching, my heart's thrilling with these notes...

I love you chet

[nikovkalash00]

the goods of heaven took Chet to listen his music!!!

I love it

[david1606861]

q rica trompetita..♥

[lorsira]

Da far venire la pelle d'oca. Sei grande Chet e lo resterai per sempre!!!!!!!!!

[nicolaaaaaaaas]

hay gente que no tendría que morir, tantas notas, tantos acordes, tantas melodías que nos estamos perdiendo :/

[VIVIANA836]

I love it ! enjoy my soul 

[chetnet]

No one plays with the heart like Chet does!!! No one!!!

[babyluvchild]

Beautiful tone. Intimate with depth & emotion that draws the listener in. What a great musician like Chet Baker did oh so well.

[rlharris9337]

I love it

[MrAnthonyfilm]

I love Chet, you don't need to overstate to be great.

[DrKsMorphinedream]

Haunting the winters blush in the long somber note of blu... beautiful, no doubt

[Arborwaychet]

That tone comes from NOT overblowing the horn. His lack of vibrato and his beautiful conception listen to the understatement at 2.20 ... Chet used space and a unique lyrical style to mesmerise audiences. yet is is the high blowing fast playing and loud players who have held sway and come to the fore. Nothing wrong there ... but I wish there were some players who still 'heard it this way'.

[FleeceLiner]

@Arborwaychet Well, he DOES use some vibrato - but it's not obnoxious. It could very well just be a slight bit of tone variation from playing so softly in the lower ranges.

[LeyvaRudy]

What a talent! Years ago I had the opportunity to hear Chet in Hollywood at a club called Jazz City. I still love his sound and like someone has said, it sounds like he is playing for you.....

[Acclamatar]

Naw i get the feel that he is playing for himself. Great tones

[icketypickety]

eassssssssssy

[tsaisisbuying]

Dear C:

Before discovering Chet Baker I was studying for the priesthood.

After one listen I found myself breaking open a bottle of Johnny Black, studying the racing form and looking for some papparazi to slap around.

Jerry Tsai Is Buying

[teazle2]

All you technico's should shout about this horn playing NOT your own math theories !!

[grover12able]

@teazle2 WHAT HORN PLAYING? We're so busy impressing ourselves, we don't need no stinking horn playing.

[teazle2]

@grover12able At the very least you started my Sunday off with a laugh-Thanks Grover !! But these mathmatical cranko's will have to admit that this 'Tenderly'

is very well done.

[beanbag121184]

belissino

[TheVetealaverga]

musica de la serie los sopranos excelente..

[Whatisthescore]

By the way I'm talking half-whole diminished, not whole-half.

[gregsobekofficial]

00:12

[angelasciabecco]

SEMPLICEMENTE.....MAGICA

[Whatisthescore]

@FlamingIan Close..most would use A diminished over a A7b9 chord..though

[leechproject]

@Whatisthescore

I always thought it would make more sense to play Bb diminished over an A7b9 since there's already a diminished chord formed by the G, the Bb, and the C# and the E.

[Whatisthescore]

@leechproject You could outline a Bb diminished chord and highlight the flat nine nicely, but a Bb diminished scale will never work mathematically over A7b9.

[Whatisthescore]

here I'll give you the first one. It's locrian. Ok now do the rest doc.

[Whatisthescore]

in my opinion, you use a lot of crass language for a doctor.

[Whatisthescore]

Why won't you tell me where you went to school and where you got a Theory Doctorate? Let me test you. What chord scale would you use over a Dbmin7b5 chord? How bout Gmaj7#11? Or A7b9 or B7#9

[Whatisthescore]

I happen to know a thing or to about theory myself. Which school did you get a doctorate in music theory? if you look it up on wiki theory is part of the Music Composition doctorate. Which school?

[MrHappyebby]

i hear flourishing talent,not wasted.the big question is ;could he have produced so wonderfully for so long a period without the drugs.i play the trumpet and this guy is in a league of his own.

[Whatisthescore]

@MichaelnChristine You're still going on about this?

[MichaelnChristine]

Sorry I said civil. I think from your posts on other pages anyone who doesn't instantly agree with your hype is going to get called names. Respond if you'd like but I've heard enough....

[1960COB]

He was on anything he could get his hands on or needle into, what a waste of a great talent.

Son

Will

[Whatisthescore]

@1960COB Waste of great talent?  He made like 200 albums!

[dantwaz]

Totally agree. So mellow. I'm going out to find out more about this man. Love him.

[rogerkodiaksports]

was chet on the junk

[DundurMifflin]

Chet Baker's life could be said to have been "destroyed" by drugs like most famous and talented jazz musicians of the "old days".

[bojo1959]

Chet to jest to.

[doggie16898]

i always liked this song, even more now that i heard this version or interpretation, ..............cooool, ...............

aloha,

[speedemon03]

I have to say that if you don't listen to his last rendition of Tenderly with the Walter Norris Quartet your missing out completely to what real jazz is. It is not a compilation of notes, but a vast irrigation of emotion and deep inner thinking. It is what this generation (my generation) is lacking completely.

[MattieSongbird]

I didn't "get" Chet before. I thought jazz was supposed to be about plenty of notes played fast. Chet is one instrumentalist who has really showed me the beauty in a melody. Thanks Chet!

[JUDYXYC]

A Historic Jazz moment in time.

Judy / NEW YORK CITY.

[aerofredywr]

I belived Clifford Brown´s version (with Max Roach) was the best...but after listening to this I´m not so sure...Chet¨s tone makes it intimate, like He´s playing to you.

[Guyshachar1]

you took the words out of my mouth..(:

[pelodelperro]

Learn to spell, dumbass.

[JproosDrums]

This is beautiful, classic Chet

[benforshee]

you suck you proabibaly cant even play an insturment like the rest of us do for a living

[jpeace694]

just for the record its coltrane smart ass. and coltrane was a genius, thats why he played with miles a lot. =)

[Whatisthescore]

@MichaelnChristine Where'd you get a PhD in music theory? I didn't know there was such a degree.

[Whatisthescore]

@MichaelnChristine What school did you go to?

[Whatisthescore]

@MichaelnChristine You have a Dotorate for Compostion or Theory?  I don't believe theres such thing as a doctorate in theory.

[Whatisthescore]

@MichaelnChristine In music theory though?

[Whatisthescore]

@MichaelnChristine Come doctor..you should know those chord scales off the back of your head..

[Whatisthescore]

@Whatisthescore or the top of your head..haha

[NoirMusic]

Why is it every Chet video I come to you are ranting at someone about something. You come across as really unbalanced. Kind of scary. I don't think I'd give you personal information either.

[Whatisthescore]

That's a bit of an exaggeration, noir. I just asked what school he got a doctorate from because he seems like he's lying. Asking chord scales isn't being scary. Give me a break.

[NoirMusic]

This is like the 3rd or 4th video you followed him/her onto. Based on the comments on your channel it seems like you do this a lot. A lot of "I blocked you" and people decrying your racist comments on other videos. I think perhaps you have some very serious problems relating to people. I hope you can get some help with that.

[Whatisthescore]

@NoirMusic I didn't follow him. I watch chet and miles videos and he was plastering those pages with things about their drug habits..disrespecting the music. All I did was stick up for Miles and chet's music. Got a problem with it..get over it.

[111danwatts]

such a beautiful piece of music

[ggnzlz2008]

tengo 7 años, a mi papá le gusta mucho chet baker, él toca saxo, flugel y flauta.

a mi me gusta milestones por chet baker

que escuchamos en el auto.

[rogerkodiaksports]

chet led the way for the new cats but do they have "that " sound?

[ray123ification]

i think you know the answer... no, of course they don't.

[3202hill]

By far the most lyrical American trumpet player. Miles did other things better as did Lee Morgan two other favorites.

[KOKOYAMS]

Almost all the feel come from Davis, Chet would have been the greatest if he did not just confined his playing and repertoire to Jazz standards. Be apart of Jazz evolution . ´GREAT LYRYCAL PLAY THOUGH

[3202hill]

I agree. Do you recall that piece by Duke, Coltrane and Miles In a Sentimental Mood was a breakthrough especially with the Duke's piano ( I think). So many broken notes... form is function.

[oblia25]

well i think the biggest thing is that miles kicked the junk, chet never did, it is one of the saddest stories of jazz history next to bix beiderbecke

[rogerkodiaksports]

what was chet's junk

[oblia25]

heroine

[tombom21]

This song always makes me think of more pleasant times.....

[EchoCannon89]

bill evans/chet baker would have been a sweet collaboration

[pimullu]

this music is so sensual, so soft i can make love now so sweet

[deckham]

so gorgeous....

i'm sure everyone who is a chet fan may know this... but you should check out the "playing by heart" soundtrack. it has 3 chet songs, and then the other songs are dave barry compositions that have chris botti playing trumpet in a similar manner as chet would. beautiful beautiful album and (as a bonus) a great movie as well.

[derlorenzoni]

there aren't words to describe that... no words!

[GabAxe]

Yah...

:(

[itsjonlikeomg]

definitely my favorite rendition of tenderly
