Two large and distinct personalities of jazz, united in the same sense. Chet Baker - Archie Shepp Quintet. Horace Parlan (piano), Herman Wright (bass), Clifford Jarvis (drums).
@doctorballrash14 - Yes Chet could absolutely "shred" whatever that means in a jazz context, but I agree, he tended to play in a very laid back West Coast style and he was incredibly lyrical, I think people hear one or two tunes and get the wrong idea about Chet. He was an amazing player and could get around just fine on his horn.
@doctorballrash14 So true. When Chet started to play with Bird, he wasn't even twenty yet. It is very well known that Chet loved ballads and is known for them most. I believe he didn't "shred" sometimes because his addiction to drugs would often get in the way by distracting him, losing his teeth keeping him from playing publicly for three years, and the fact that his trumpets were stolen a few times even during gigs.
you know i often hear talk of how Chet Baker couldn't get around his horn. that's so untrue. i have heard records of him shedding all over tunes. check him out on ''Have You Met Miss Jones'' he just preferred to be lyrical. that was his style. that's what made who he is. and that's why we love him.
Besides, he played with Bird, do you think Bird would play with anyone who couldn't get around his horn?
Chet was one-of-a-kind. His playing was technically lacking, he was a perfect picture of not really giving a darn about his horn. And still you would have a hard time finding a truer picture of cool. He is L.A. He is Amsterdam. He is a hero of mine.
What record is the off of?
