오우 마이 할렐루야... 앞니가 없어도 이렇게 절절한 사랑의 노래를.. 생각해 보면 당신을 사랑했던 건 가장 큰 행운이었다..1964년 라이브곡.. 이 엄청난 숭고함에 대학교수같은 피아니스트와 플룻을 불듯말듯 앉아게신 플르티스트나.. 이사랑의 연주는 그이 노래와 트럼펫연주가 1964년에 벨기에에서.. 스프렌디드..
What a genius. What strange quiet balls.What concentration, to keep that emotional moment going, that line flowing, his fertility of invention...and he never drops the line...Like a great Brando moment, a genius of introspective exhibitionism.
@soCtra Not that easy jack...if you're a trumpet player your front teeth are everything. Just enjoy the sound. I remember when you couldnt even find Chet on youtube. Anyone who is here listening is good enough.
@hartanto07 yes, this is incredible and 2 front teeth are nothing compared to having such a gift. But tell me, would you also be willing to take on Chet Baker's heroin addiction (which is why the missing teeth in the first place)?
@mannsam63 His singing and trumpet playing changed a lot in like ten years. I think people mostly judge his singing ability in his later years, which diminished.
oh,my! What mrd2u2usucks wrote it down is the most perfect rendition tothe grace of being human.The person(mrd2u2usucks) is clearly a poet and a firm believer in the greatness of music,and of course,Chet-one of the greatest EVER!
Thanks for posting it,and thanks mrd2u2usucks !You´ve bought me some beauty...
I want to buy Chet a new tooth, some really clean heroin, a glass of good scotch and let him watch as a few friends of mine beat the shit out of the guy that punched his tooth out. Then let him do a 2nd take of this letting the poor flute player do a solo as Chet ties off and comes back with that smooth heroin induced ending to an otherwise perfect and beautiful rendition of a great song.
Who the hell could dislike this song? Even if you aren't a jazz fan at all (which would make it weird for you to come across this video at all in the first place), you can at least appreciate it for the artistic value and Chet's velvety voice. And if you have no soul and you can't do that at least, then at least have the common courtesy move on to another video rather than press 'dislike'
wow. and to think nowadays we have britney, cyrus and bieber with more money and fame than all of the great musicians combined! what a shame! The world is coming to an end!
Any piece of music that Chet Baker ever touched instantly turned into "Jazz Sublimity"; too bad his special touch didn't work in his personal life --- then again maybe if it had, we wouldn't have been treated to all these majestic expressions of emotional honesty and tuneful integrity.
Chet Baker -- RIP and thanks for all the musical magic.
You could not have expressed the above more articulately. I have had the same thoughts. In his singing and playing there is such a haunting suffering declared. It is indeed majestic.
Chet makes have missing teeth, cool again! The Patron Saint of Missing Teeth! Live and learn, plastic botox world. All your money won't produce music like this.Only buy you fake teeth and butt implants. Once again, the Soul is mighter than the physical body! Yeah!
Bullshit Tommyfazz. "When did music ever stop being beautiful?" We are swamped with shit music these days and with the internet it's all getting out there unhindered. Of course there's beautiful stuff too but it's often adrift in a sea of shit.
this guy was a drug addicted wasted human being AND he also contributed as much or more to humanity than any senator,doctor, priest, or athlete alive today and THAT'S NO BULL
i must have listen to this a hundred times, the way he plays really is magical and his voice so unique, no one like him and there never will be again.
In 1966, Baker was savagely beaten by a group of people (allegedly while attempting to buy drugs) after a gig in San Francisco, sustaining severe cuts on the lips and broken front teeth, which ruined his embouchure.
@flygendeballong The myth is that he had them knocked out in a fight but this shows that he had already lost one. The counter-theory is it was gum disease and he ended up having to have more removed. This didn't sound so good so he made up the fight story. Thats the two versions make your own choice!
I heard the story of his life and it's tragic end, but this is the first time I have seen him play, and on such a high quality clip. Transported to another dimension, utterly breathtaking! Thanks for posting,it has gone straight to my favourites.
@hottubz1965 He lost that tooth as a young man. Some pictures of him in his 20s show it missing. You just have to find a pic of him smiling showing teeth. He usually hides them you will notice. He didn't lose his teeth in a beating, they got ruined due to neglect because of his drug problem . Bill Evans got dentures in his 40s for the same reason. Chet had bad teeth before the assault in San Francisco. The dentist pulled them all then because they were ruined, but not from the assault.
@maximus50238 'Lets Get Lost' is not an accurate account of his life. You can see how stoned he is at various times in the film. Would you believe everything in a film that uses him in that state. His family & girlfriends who appear in it all felt upset by the film after they saw it. They are all critical of the director Bruce Weber. Read the biography 'Chet Baker His Life & Music' by the journalist Jeroen De Valk. This is a serious work on Chets life, career & problems.
@maximus50238 In the film, his then girlfriend also said that HIS account of his ass kicking probably wasnt the truth...in so many words...She pretty much said that his junkie behavior got his ass kicked.
@VoodooPolitico i realize that. im not saying that he got beaten without him egging them on or something. all im saying is that he got his ass kicked and his teeth got knocked out
@hottubz1965 He lost that tooth as a young man. Some pictures of him in his 20s show it missing. You just have to find a pic of him smiling showing teeth. He usually hides them you will notice.

Chet had bad teeth before the assault in San Francisco. The dentist pulled them all then because they were ruined, but not from the assault.
Pure musicianship. It survives everything he & others did to him. His face was beaten in by his dope dealer. He couldnt stop making beautiful sounds, whether they sold or not. See the film, "Lets get Lost".
Chet was a musical genius and anyone who does not get it should jump in a lake!! Van Gogh lived a tragic life also so. I guess he was weak also?? They poured there heart and soul into everything thing they did artistically and that is what made them great. They where willing to pay the price to share there gifts with us. Honesty with yourself takes lots of bravery! But sometimes the cruelty of people on this earth can be too much for even the bravest.
@rubbytrump-being weak is human. He should be looked from the artist side, and that one none can dispute. So, stop digging into his private life, take him as musician whose music will live after all of us here are gone. I'm sorry, but I hear in your comment jealousy, and that is very very bad.
He was just deep in a dream, he switched the sides completely . But, boy, his dream was incredible enough to pull you so gently in without any drugs.
The other side was his real nightmare, only through music he was able to escape from. He was not addicted to heroin, but to music. And that's why I adore him!
i love his trumpet playing so much. hes so relaxed the whole time. he plays like he has all the time in the world, rather than rushing to play fast lines. and its so perfect.
@gsaxita That´s interesting, but it´s difficult to imagine because all that sensitivity that he had, maybe his only firend was the jazz music and unfortunately, his master were the drugs..
All I meant by that was, pretty much like you said, heroin isn't some magical ticket into musical stardom. There are plenty of heroin addicts who can't play music at all. More likely Chet was just really talented from the start and heroin didn't even help those guys. Charlie Parker even said it doesn't help. it makes you slump over and shit. slows you down.. it's more like the genius is what pulls them into drugs.. not drugs pulls them into being geniuses.
I love Chet's music but wonder why people post such utter tripe as: ''...and to make me realise that there was once beauty in music. '' When did music ever stop being beautiful? Classics are recorded for all to hear and beautiful music continues to be made on a daily basis. Please stop writing drivel.
@Tommyfazz I think what people really mean to say is that there was a time when music used to sound really classy and subtle. In general, I agree with the sentiment that what's on the air currently in general is not like what it used to be (though there are occasional gems from time to time). Trends seem to dictate an oversimplification of music when you consider that there was more art and soul in music during the 60s (to name just one fruitful decade) as opposed to the prevailing sound.
Makes your soul melt. Words cannot express.

You would need to have no soul and you would have to possess a cold mind and a cold heart not to be moved by this.
I feel sorry for anyone who is unable to feel and appreciate the wonderful emotion in this song.
It's a brilliant, sensitive, heart-wrenching performance by a great artist. No need to say more.

@MrVonBriesen I met people who had met him, everybody said that he was
very arrogant, and yes,,, was appreciated, but only as a musician
but not as a person, and he suffered much of this

@gsaxita That´s interesting, but it´s difficult to imagine because all that sensitivity that he had, maybe his only firend was the jazz music and unfortunately, his master were the drugs..

All I meant by that was, pretty much like you said, heroin isn't some magical ticket into musical stardom. There are plenty of heroin addicts who can't play music at all. More likely Chet was just really talented from the start and heroin didn't even help those guys. Charlie Parker even said it doesn't help. it makes you slump over and shit. slows you down.. it's more like the genius is what pulls them into drugs.. not drugs pulls them into being geniuses.

I love Chet's music but wonder why people post such utter tripe as: ''...and to make me realise that there was once beauty in music. '' When did music ever stop being beautiful? Classics are recorded for all to hear and beautiful music continues to be made on a daily basis. Please stop writing drivel.

@Tommyfazz I think what people really mean to say is that there was a time when music used to sound really classy and subtle. In general, I agree with the sentiment that what's on the air currently in general is not like what it used to be (though there are occasional gems from time to time). Trends seem to dictate an oversimplification of music when you consider that there was more art and soul in music during the 60s (to name just one fruitful decade) as opposed to the prevailing sound.
