Chet Baker - Do It The Hard Way (Official Audio)

[@MILESFOGGON]

Chet Baker a great singer. This is a great song, can always be listened to any time of day.

This is an interesting session, where Chet uses his voice and even "tongue-ing" and in runs in much the same way that he uses on his horn!

This is awesome it almost sounds robotic

[@valentinagerlsma2767]

does someone else think the last highest notes of the scat solo were made accidentally? sounds like a gorgeous ‘mistake’ (so not really a mistake obviously) I mean the jump from A# to C

[@alexcarter8807]

not really, he was a trumpet player and well, if you can't sing it, you can't play it. Trumpet is a transposing instrument which means if you play a C, it's a .... something else. Uhm, I kind of lose the plot there, frankly, and I can play trumpet fairly well, all I can say is, you have to know where you're going or you'll end up somewhere else and that means you have to be able to sing it.

[@blow-by-blowtrumpet]

The greatest natural ear in jazz - no way. He sometimes hits unexpected notes on trumpet but freed from those constraints he's singing exactly what he's hearing. The fact that he could do this most of the time on trumpet too is astonishing.

Chet making it sound easy. But it's not.
