  • somebody knows the adress of the school that teaches to sing like that?

  • Chet lived the life. Even as his voice was ravaged by smoking, booze, drugs and aging, he could pull off that incredible scat singing in this song. It's one of his best performances ever!

  • Is that Jim McNeely on piano ?

    Anyone know the Bass player & Drummer ?

  • @ddferris

    Harold Danko (piano), Hein van de Geijn (bass) and John Engels (drums).

  • Thanks vlaimirsmartin. Yeah I ended up looking it up and saw that it was indeed Harold. He sounds great here as do the Bass and Drums. I thought it might have been McNeely, he's on another CB record I have w/Stan Getz.

  • Harold Danko: piano

    Hein vd Geyn: bas

    John Engels: drums

  • @gerdpol

    Thanks, but I've already said it above.

  • sublime.........wow. killer phrasing, just fantastic.

  • aaaarrrrrrggggggggggg!!!! I love it!!!

  • argh i want to hear the ending so badly, no doubt Chet finished it off classily with a cool harmony or something....

  • @Ianmc26

    Yes, indeed! Sorry, I had no choice: YouTube doesn't allow more than ten minutes per video.

  • Chet was the coolest. Effortless, masterful playing.

  • He's a scatman!

  • what wrinkles..

  • Such a wonderful performance... God rest your soul, Chet...

    Thanks for sharing! :-)

  • in the best moment of  time......

  • Love his scat.  Must have been great fun to hear to be in audience listening to him swing out!

  • Great Chet, great band!

  • go chet!

  • He's at his best on tpt and scat on this Tokyo concert recording !

  • He sang like his trumpet! Great!!!

  • Shame & waste of talent

  • It's hard to believe that he was such a 'pretty boy'. Drugs will take take you down fast! But boy, could he play and sing!!!

  • Hey man, don´t forget to credit his amazing band!

    Harold Danko - Piano

    Hein van de Geyn - Bass

    John Engels - Drumz

    Thanks for uploading anyway!

  • Yikes- this is terrific!!:)

  • Wow :).

    Love it:).

  • this man takes my breath away.what music! what a performance!! what an Artist...

  • He was more than the pretty face that made women and gay men swoon when he was a young man. The first jazz CD I ever listened to was a Chet Baker CD. Thanks for posting.

  • He was a natural born gifted genius musician lived only for music & didn't care about anything else. That's the reason he was a drug addict. It gave him the energy stamina he need to create. He took Baudelaire's advise - 'One should always be drunk' - with wine, poetry, virtue or music.' Chet Got Drunk on music and this was his real addiction & gift to at least a part of mankind.

  • well said!

  • thank you for this...!

  • It's unbelievable how pure talent and passion stay constant during a life time of self-destruction and self irresponsibility... Chet is more than just a human... Great video vladimirsmartins!

    Thumbs up!

  • All the accolades are warranted ... pure talent, a faultless conception not understood by many in his lifetime ... his music is in service to beauty

  • well put

  • MYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

  • Amazing musician!

  • Just watch it again and again

  • Boxing is like jazz, the better it is, the less people appreciate it.

  • glad to see some Chet Baker again, YTube has been blocking all his videos, let's hope now they'll leave this one alone. Thanks for posting it, Bob!!

  • Take a look at other Chet's videos I posted: My Funny Valentine, Candy, My Ideal, Just Friends. And visit my channel, if you can. There's a lot of gems right there. Thanks.

  • Timeless!!!!!
