Chet recorded this number in a Belgium TV studio in 1964 with Jacques Pelzer - sax, Luigi Trussardi - bass, Franco Manzecchi - drums and Rene Urtreger - piano.

This has to be one of my all time favorites! Chet Baker is sooo talented! He's completly awesome! My familly is OBSESSED with jazz.

Thanks sooo much.

You are most welcome. It  was a great loss to jazz when he died so young.

...it's my father on drums - and sure I'm proud...

[neverknewtillnow]

As well you should be proud, he always played in the best of company. This clip ,being recorded in the studio rather than a hall, makes it all the more intimate.

Neverknewtillnow that I love you! Thank you so much for the video. I also heard this theme from an obscure selection cd I bought in a pawnshop here in Brazil many years ago and lost it.

A kiss on you forehead!

Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind reply. .

Chet's solo here is amazingly smooth and lyrical. What amazing vocabulary and feel he had.

Thanks for the comment. Pleased you enjoyed it.

Check out "A Jazz Classic" and "Bye Bye Bkackbird" on my site from the same sitting.

To Neverknowtillnow. Thanks for this post. I have it on an obscure medley CD ,Jazz for Trumpet, but was pleasantly surprised to find it on YouTube. It's the best treatment of this ballad that I have come across to date; definitely better than Baker's earlier 1954 version. The piano solo is particularly good. It's a classic.
