@cavaleer Yes, maybe emotion is not the right term.. Moreover, I don't know ESP & Nefertiti, so maybe I have to begin with that! But Chet has such a sensibility..
Miles had a lot of things: inspiration, tecnicity, great musicians, leadership, almost everything... and even if maybe no one master piece will be so "high" than In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew, or A Kind of Blue, he never had the emotion that Chet developed on My Funny Valentine...
@tonysalaun Have you listened to ESP or Nefertiti???? Emotion??? Chet had a a great subtelty and sound, similar to Miles, but I'm not sure that's "emotion".
@tonysalaun Absolutely right. Miles' version of My Funny Valentine was deconstructed, cool & inspirational, but It didn't get to the heart of the song. Chet baker brings the joy, pain and raw emotion of love.
Truly a masterpiece of understatement. He manages to pack so much emotion into his music with the minimum of bombast - not even half a dozen loud notes - focusing on the melody, the phrasing and the tempo. And the piano and bass are right on the same frequency as CB, soft and focused, equally restrained. If only our current crop of jazz and pop artists were as deep and worldly as this guy...
1982... this truck driver lookin dude was viewing charts for the nights gig. Jazz? No way! Saturday Night Fever!. He's a Legend? Yeah sure- get some teeth, loser.

The answer is: Chet Baker "Round Midnight" 79. Fantastic version of "My Funny Valentine". This album also features the only existing version of Thelonius Monk' song "Round Midnight", that Chet has ever recorded. There are many great albums recorded by Chet, this one is probably one of the best.
Does anyone knows on which album I can find this version? There are just too many albums on the market and the last one I got sounded different, less elegant and smooth*
He always took you there with him to that special place. It felt so smooth and easy to understand his musicality. Very few musicians have ever touched me this deep. He was a treasure to be enjoyed for all times. I do not miss him because he's still floating around out there and his unique talent will remain with us for all time.
@bobyoung53 you know, I was thinking the same thing,,,yr my age and i was totally into getz, didn't really give chet his due, now i will and the man is gone....what fricking luck!!
@betojoven I concur, he is also my all-time favorite in his arena. As in the Blues, the angst of living shines through in his performances, thoughtful and heartfelt. On my private play list, he asks the audience to pls be still for a moment the song requires thoughtful listening, the audience is still for a moment in time, delivers a heart wrenching performance of “Almost Blue”, the superlatives fall short-he is dying and yet delivers a true genuis in his art, born to be blue so beautiful
@betojoven - sorry for belated response and - yes, tough maybe the toughest were the final years so sad to watch doc's and read of these years of his tortured life, Yup - your right spot on there, sadly so.......
i know miles davis is supposed to be the shit, same with maynard cause of his range, but ill listen to chet over any other trumpet player any day. his style, so laid back and smooth, and his singing captures the spirit and soul that is jazz.
all of you need to shut up with your bs. it doesn't prove your existence, it's actually the opposite. can't you enjoy art without an exercising of your weak and non artistic exclamation expression? you all cheapen what my idea of being alive is.
ugh..idk why i get cought up in your crap. it ruins every track i try to listen to on youtube. you ants can't even talk without being lame, simple, copy and paste intell. forget it...i'm obviously one of you. caught up in hate, passively expressing.
Wow, such extraordinary trumpet passages! Boy he has some complex passages and with such control. I wonder if perhaps that might be, could that be, The Great "Jimmy Bond" doing the Bass Work in this Trio? Happy B-Day to Andre Previn..~~
@Haritonov46 You must be trolling! Jazz is not for everyone, you probable are one of those that can’t enjoy it, at least for now. I used to hate it when I was teen and twenty’s, after 30's I started to like it, just like that, one day it seems I was in the mood for it and since then it became my favourite music and this guy, Chet Baker, is really GOOD. I can assure you that once you have really tasted it you'll enjoy it for the rest of your life.
I am not trollind (whatever it means), nor I am kidding. You see the difference between you and me is that I am a musician. I played and enjoyed jazz at the age you hated it, but the more I was becoming knowledgeable in music, the more intellectually and spiritually mature, the less I liked jazz. Now I prefer Beethoven, Rahmaninov, Borodin, Elgar, Stravinsky and Shostakovich to Chet Baker and even to Miles Davis. Find those much less boring, much more melodious and profound.
@Haritonov46 Trolling is the term internet kids use to describe someone who is teasing others. You're kind of an asshole about how you listen to music. Do you mock people who read Shakespear over like Dostoevsky too?
I just shared my opinion, by the way, the opinion of a professional musician. And that's what I got in response: "You're kind of an asshole about how you listen to music."
Once I was told that Americans are quite polite and civilized people, who can handle difference of opinion. You convinced me that it is really so.
@Haritonov46 I can spot someone being smug and obnoxious. You don't need to post non-issues as to say a genre of music is better than other when both have their legitimate merits. It's stupid and no one cares that you're a professional musician, I don't see your name on Youtube with people commenting on the video anywhere at all.
NataliaBogdanova, May I recommend another artist, totally different, who died of cancer at age 33 in 1996. The way she phrases her music effects me the same as this beautiful Chet Baker arrangement - Eva Cassidy, Somewhere over the rainbow
Absolutely wonderful! I was turned on to Chet by a biography I watched on TV. To know he "lived" jazz, and to hear his experiences only heightened my enjoyment of his music - he played from the heart and soul!
I love it when it's just the instruments. You don't need words/lyrics to have it come across clearly. You can hear it without someone telling you, you know?
The type of musical genius that only the perfect combination of God Given Talent and Heroin can provide.
Most geniuses of this caliber are lost way too early, yet Chet managed to live a modestly long life. Thanks for all the inspiration you have provided with your gift...
The same track is played on the Chet Baker Foundation home page. There is a comment that the track had been recorded in London 1979. The discography of Chet shows only on record produced in 1979 in London which is one as follows:
"Rachel Gould With Chet Baker Quintet
Chet Baker (tp) Henry Florens (p) Jean-Paul Florens (g) Jim Richardson (b) Tony Mann (d) Rachel Gould (vo)
Anyone familiar with the Garcia/Saunders version of this tune from their album called ' Live at Keystone " yeah, Jerry did jazz, and he did it very very well. That said, I think this is an amazing piece of music, I love trumpet, usually played faster than this, but this has lotta soul baby, lotta soul

That said, I think this is an amazing piece of music, I love trumpet, usually palyed faster than this, but this has lotta soul baby, lotta soul
Oh shit...some of the best trumpet playing I have ever heard! Chet was the fricki8n bomb....sooo beautiful and sexy he was with his horn..RIP Chet...you rocked my world for sure!
This music is so inspiring. I'm sitting in my bed right now, listening to Chet Baker, while trying to write a book. I love this music. I honestly love it.
This instumental version of My Funny Valentine is my favourite one. Driving in the night I often listen to it with others by Chet. And I feel at ease andlight . Not at all tired or bored by everyday troubles and thoughts. Once at home I fall asleep and say thank's to him. Goodnight
@brelfan then either you listen to the wrong jazz or you're listening wrong... the good stuff comes from the heart, thats true about almost all good music.
think before you speak... and open your ear a little bit more
outstanding. tnxs greg 4 the post. i don't know if u guys but my mental computer has never been able to catch-up with chet, he is too much up there, extremelly fascinating tones.
What more could I say? This has to be one the most artistic performances ever recorded in the history of jazz.
Chet Bake's playing is top of the line, no doubt about it. I also especially love the double bass solo starting at 03:57. Throughout the track, the piano and the bass together really form a solid canvas for the trumpet to solo on.
Phenomenal musicianship. Just the kind jazz that would send me away to the some other worlds.
I have done extensive research, life story, I went to the same college, visited the same bars and social haunts of Los Angeles. He is a decade plus in age but I can remember reading the Playboy Jazz artists of the year and there was Chet Baker numero uno. Amazing. Everyone says in essence the same, everything came easily to him, all, singing, phrasing, timing, feel and of course the playing. Born to play with little to no effort. Self-destructive adult child Amazing Talent, I love him - RIP Chet
@1barracuda21 – Thanks, I love his over–all catalogue (all his recorded music) over anyone else, well…..he and Coltrane, Eh Sinatra, Armstrong too lol – I mean play and sing, my favorites (women excluded for now) but Chet could play and sing, pour his soul into a song like no other that I know of, hearfelt playing (his Tokyo show at 57 yrs great) – this is considered his “signature song” but he has so many great songs, so take your pick, this is up there for sure – Thanks and Good Luck
@backpain100 The trumpet is for Chet not only an instrument - its an extension of his soul. There is no adress for the auditorium - simply communicating with his own thoughts and reflecting his own feelings. No single note is intended to please us. This is the secret of his playing. As he plays only for himself and there is no effort to meet our needs or to please us - we get the chance to meet us
@backpain100 : Wonderfull! Extraordinarily trumpet passages! Boy he has some complex passages and with such control. I wonder if perhaps that might be, could that be, The Great "Jimmy Bond" doing the Bass Work in this Trio?

I've got to know...did he really end on that note, or did the recording cut out a second too early...? If it's the former...wow. It sounds like: "Valentine's...." without the "day"... Sort of like Chet's life being over too soon.
thanks so much.....now if I could just learn to play it!

The same track is played on the Chet Baker Foundation home page. There is a comment that the track had been recorded in London 1979. The discography of Chet shows only on record produced in 1979 in London which is one as follows:
"Rachel Gould With Chet Baker Quintet
Chet Baker (tp) Henry Florens (p) Jean-Paul Florens (g) Jim Richardson (b) Tony Mann (d) Rachel Gould (vo)
London, England, September 5, 1979

Anyone familiar with the Garcia/Saunders version of this tune from their album called ' Live at Keystone " yeah, Jerry did jazz, and he did it very very well. That said, I think this is an amazing piece of music, I love trumpet, usually played faster than this, but this has lotta soul baby, lotta soul

This instumental version of My Funny Valentine is my favourite one. Driving in the night I often listen to it with others by Chet. And I feel at ease andlight . Not at all tired or bored by everyday troubles and thoughts. Once at home I fall asleep and say thank's to him. Goodnight

Beautiful. I don't like jazz much. Comes from the head and not the heart, usually, in my opinion. But this...

@brelfan then either you listen to the wrong jazz or you're listening wrong... the good stuff comes from the heart, thats true about almost all good music.
think before you speak... and open your ear a little bit more

What more could I say? This has to be one the most artistic performances ever recorded in the history of jazz.
Chet Bake's playing is top of the line, no doubt about it. I also especially love the double bass solo starting at 03:57. Throughout the track, the piano and the bass together really form a solid canvas for the trumpet to solo on.
Phenomenal musicianship. Just the kind jazz that would send me away to the some other worlds.
Simply a surreal experience.

I have done extensive research, life story, I went to the same college, visited the same bars and social haunts of Los Angeles. He is a decade plus in age but I can remember reading the Playboy Jazz artists of the year and there was Chet Baker numero uno. Amazing. Everyone says in essence the same, everything came easily to him, all, singing, phrasing, timing, feel and of course the playing. Born to play with little to no effort. Self-destructive adult child Amazing Talent, I love him - RIP Chet

@persevere4 u are absolutely RIGHT! this is the BEST CHET BAKER I have ever heard!

@1barracuda21 – Thanks, I love his over–all catalogue (all his recorded music) over anyone else, well…..he and Coltrane, Eh Sinatra, Armstrong too lol – I mean play and sing, my favorites (women excluded for now) but Chet could play and sing, pour his soul into a song like no other that I know of, hearfelt playing (his Tokyo show at 57 yrs great) – this is considered his “signature song” but he has so many great songs, so take your pick, this is up there for sure – Thanks and Good Luck

@backpain100 The trumpet is for Chet not only an instrument - its an extension of his soul. There is no adress for the auditorium - simply communicating with his own thoughts and reflecting his own feelings. No single note is intended to please us. This is the secret of his playing. As he plays only for himself and there is no effort to meet our needs or to please us - we get the chance to meet us

@backpain100 : Wonderfull! Extraordinarily trumpet passages! Boy he has some complex passages and with such control. I wonder if perhaps that might be, could that be, The Great "Jimmy Bond" doing the Bass Work in this Trio?

I've got to know...did he really end on that note, or did the recording cut out a second too early...? If it's the former...wow. It sounds like: "Valentine's...." without the "day"... Sort of like Chet's life being over too soon.
