Stan Getz and Chet Baker "Just Friends" 1983

[artgasjack7]

I knew both of these fine jazz musicians and watching this to prepare for a concert March 17, 2012 Winchester, Kentucky playing tenor sax, piano, and vocals, with a fine trumpet player named Dan Brock who plays much like Chet Baker. thanks Jack Kennedy Hodgkin sixty five years of playing beginning with clarinet.

[celioangeloni]

Sem dúvida alguma, um dos melhores trumpetistas e cantor de jazz, um cara clássico!

[AxelFriedhoff]

The best trumpet player in the sixtees beside Miles Davies.

[02081990hans]

wie is de pianist ???

[swinginbj]

@02081990hans Il s'agit de Jim Mc Neely, pianiste ayant accompagné Getz au débuts des 80's

[1deborahsf]

Apenas amigos, porque não? Chat Baker é um intérprete intenso.

[SatchmoSings]

Chet Baker, be-bop's answer to Bix Biederbecke and I can assure you that is NOT a compliment.

[armagedontoulon]

Immortals....

Bravo, "So Che Ti Perderò"

[briggs411]

Chet Baker is a legend in my book.how fabulous is this man.damn it he died too damn early.

[GILSONLONGA]

Chet Baker é a expressão máxima do que a musica pode realizar através do homem que não reprime seus sentimentos, antes, faz explodir em cada batida do coração e em cada acorde como se estes fossem a verdadeira sede da alma, que flui esvaindo-se através dos dedos e fôlego do artista.

[gmouchta]

Ubelievable phrasinh !!!!!

[mrcountbasie]

What can I say?! Thanks!

[ZenOramo]

Yep, doesn't get much better than this. Oh so fine!

[kingusmcgee]

Fantastic.  Thanks

[bluejazz44]

Chet is a musician who transcend time, is a musician who has the sound in itself, innovative, highly sensitive and competent. Stan is also the same level. Jazz geniuses that we will always miss and leave huge miss.

[SunsetyOuandmE]

Great Musicians!

[LiberoMan]

[XxOMGABUNNYxX]

Both of them always competed with each other as far as women go- who is more popular with them. Hilarious. I prefer Chet )) You guys out there?

[smurfsB]

[Friskounet]

@smurfsB

George Mraz (Bass)

Jim McNeely (Piano)

Victor Lewis (Drums)

[bigjcinsky]

That fucking rhythm section is so fucking tight. Holy fuckaroo, they are tight.

[deduliko]

Just friends Lovers no more Just friends But not like before To think of what we've been And not to kiss again Seems like pretending It isn't the ending Two friends Drifting apart Two friends But one broken heart We loved we laughed we cried Then suddenly love died The story ends And we're Just friends We loved we laughed and we cried Then suddenly love died The story ends And we're Just friends

[exjazzbassbaz]

[imbees2]

an unsung hero. Chet is one of the best jazz trumpet players and singers that there ever was.

[Francozen]

[pelodelperro]

Chet, you are missed every single day!

[MrDannylow]

HA!HA! Bill Watrous?? He's a trombonist, not the author of Just Friends!! That song's by John Klemmer and Sam Lewis..

Rhyhtm section seems McNeely, Mraz and Lewis. Chet's fantastic, Stan too!

[iz4yt]

[jazzuffe]

Thanks for posting this!!

[BrunoJazzmanLeicht]

Very good friends they were not, but partners in sound, and feeling. One can't say that about too many jazz folks anymore. Thanks for posting this gem.

[pablo210]

Tremendous

[astronomicato]

Ohhh mann this is lovely,,,,thanks for posting nilsjoela!!!

[Trumpetplayer60076]

Chet Baker and Stan Getz are two of my FAVORITE artists! Fortunately, I met them both when they played Chicago. Fantastic to see them again!! Thanks so much for posting!

[TheFlorianwittmann]

Chet magique

[pitou723]

j'aime beaucoup ....

[diabolikcucchi]

Chet u' pazzo

[leaoramos64]

Fantástico!!!

[fstop101]

Was there EVER a man THIS cool????

[jimbotro]

people still have ears - it has to do with peoples tastes. no one likes this music anymore because they think it's 'gay'. men are afraid to really express themselves without an air of machismo because they are afraid they will be thought of as feminine. anyone who actually likes this music should pick up an instrument because they are the only ones who can keep it alive. i love it and i intend to get back on the piano bench. i love how this pianist isn't afraid to let his imagination lead him

[tiljazz1]

@mulluka1

[tiljazz1]

@mulluka1 I agree! Jazz needs him, more than ever.

[AbbieCF]

Why does Bill Watrous get a credit (0:14)?

Hey, thanks for posting this. I've enjoyed the CD of this concert, and it's great to get to see it now.

[afpctube]

Espetacular!Maravilhoso!Soberb­o!Que dupla fantastica e unica...

[LUMADY1]

expetacular -Lo Máximo.-

[beeshor1]

It has never been any better than that and I doubt that it will ever be.

[rdiazflamencojazz]

@beeshor1 You are so right friend!

I totally agree

[postatility]

Great music transcends everything--even two evil,fucked-up junkies like Baker&Getz

[malarbusto]

@postatility Evil? Wayward, perhaps. But evil?

[postatility]

@malarbusto Well--evil,according to George Wein (Newport Jazz Festival producer)who used the exact word to describe Stan's behavior. I'm sure Stan was a very complex man with many sides or,as Zoot Sims described him,"a nice bunch of guys"

[Ianmc26]

But according to promoter Wim Wigt, from the start of the tour Getz made no secret of his disdain for Baker, especially his singing. [He] was like a spoiled child and he was very insecure, Wigt told British jazz writer Mike Hennessey. He was jealous of the success that Chet was enjoying. And as Hennessey adds, the relationship was aggravated by what might be described as a conflict of addictions. Getz at this time was drinking heavily and Baker was using heroin. Says McNeeley,

[Ianmc26]

Stan had a real attitude about Chets using drugs. Perhaps if they had both been doing the same substance they might have got along better together. Stan, he added, tried to turn the rhythm section against Baker. When that failed, the tenorman gave Wigt a he-goes-or-I-go ultimatum. So I paid Chet off, which was a great shame because he had been playing superbly every night, Wigt remembers with regret.

[arquivosisaias]

MASTER!!! Few can do scat like Chet!!!

[tiljazz1]

@arquivosisaias Nobody!

[oglioko]

RIP BOTH

[gbln]

Have you seen Dune, the old fiction movie? It felt wierdly -- thought not bad at all -- how Chet didn't need the trumpet to play; starting from a such a fragile voice at beginnig he's really overcome the instrument. GENIUS!

[DenRJ]

Stan and Chet, how wonderful that can be.

Both of them playing at the top of their game. I love the interplay between Stan and Chet.
