CHET BAKER LIVE IN TOKYO • Juin 1987

[@feldepablo1974]

Notable, grandioso, la esencia pura de su espíritu se siente en esta presentación. Llega hasta lo más profundo del alma, se disfruta y se sufre. Lo máximo Chet

[@paullevin9760]

The color of his sound, the technique, the expressiveness in the simple way of bending notes, the phrasing. There has never been anything close to Chet Baker. Many have come close but it was simply a gift from God given to this man to play this way. He heard things that nobody else heard, almost like voices coming to him as he played through the pain of his every day life. Beautiful, sad and simply amazing. Thanks Chet, I will always love you.

This version of Almost Blue is just the best thing I've heard in my entire life.

My funny valentine is also absolutely stunning

Capolavoro immenso. Chet Baker, un genio musicale. Come La Fenice risorge dalle ceneri, Chet attraverso la sua musica, la sua tromba, risorge dalle ceneri e brilla ancora ed ancora. Spettacolo!

[@fuji4202]

I’m so green listening to gifted jazz musician Chet first time . What a talent

[@catARTsis24]

Almost Blue, mi compañera en estas últimas noches de insomnio, me arrulla y me quedo dormido mientras a volumen bajito la escucho y me lleva a sueños bellos, gracias Chet

[@imbees2]

Chet Baker. One of the greatest jazz musicians of all time. Playing the trumpet.And he can sing!

I love Chet Baker, but every time i listen to him i just can feel his loneliness and sadness, I just want to hugh him and tell him everything will be allright (guess it's too late)

[@godsun798]

WONDERFUL❤️ CHET BAKER🙏🏆🌟

[@josephmorell2836]

I wish I was sitting in the audience how bless are they

[@alansenzaki4148]

Started listening to chet when i was a teenager in minneapolis in 1958. I was 14 years old. Brubeck, miles, chet, ahmad etc.started my lifelong love of jazz. l Was lucky enough to see chet live in the mid eighties in san francisco (about the time of this concert). When i walked into the club i couldnt believe his beautiful sound it filled the club. I did'nt know he had such a big sound! Their will only be one Chet. A true master artist who is sorely missed!!

[@MrJazzohjazz]

Alan Senzaki I was listening to Chet in the mid fifties via WCFL jazz radio from Chicago. Sid McCoy was the DJ. I’m two years older and loved Ahmad.

almost blue.... an absolutely soul chilling experience of the best kind

[@peterschneiter7960]

Absolutely amazing version. The 2 solos & the vocal, chilling experience indeed.

[@randhallquezada7853]

Just an amazing concert! I came looking for silver and found gold!

[@carlocroccolo771]

GLI SONO STATO AMICO, GLI HO VOLUTO BENE E , DOPO TRENTA ANNI LO RICORDO CON AMORE. UN GRANDISSIMO UOMO....DISPERATO....E IMMENSO TROMBETTISTA E MUSICISTA. FA PARTE DELLA STORIA DEL JAZZ!!!!!

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

It's difficult to believe he had less than a year to live at this concert, such a great talent from a sometimes-tortured soul who had the talent of 10,000 musicians. In his singing here, around 20:00 you can tell he "tongues" with his voice like he does on the trumpet! Such inner talent -- remarkable. Superb jazz from all the players, at this concert. I would have loved to have jammed with these guys! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS so we can continue to enjoy Chet -- though he is gone, his great talent and his music lingers on.

[@lfcfan4557]

As smooth as it gets. RIP Chet. Your wonderful music lives on forever.

[@carlosarany]

Fantastic! and Beautiful!

[@MrAl9315]

I listen to Chet Baker almost daily, never tire of him. This is him at his best !

[@ewdryk2989]

We need a remaster of it.

[@jazztime7186]

I put on the CD of this show this morning, and Chet started playing "Stella", and his tone was so mellow and darkly rich I started wondering if he was playing flugelhorn. Had to come over to KZbin and check! But no, as the video makes clear, it's just Chet weaving his tender magic spells with a trumpet.

[@robertcastroalvarez4076]

Hein van der Geijn on bass gives depth to Chet's magic. One of the best bassmen in jazz ever

[@zimmerman421]

One of the all time great live performances of any genre. Listening to this its like Chet managed to rewind time back to the 50s he is absolutely flawless here.

[@misternewbould]

people actually went out on a friday or saturday night in 1987 tokyo, and this was the entertainment. it's too hot to handle.

La trompeta lírica de Baker. Sentimiento y virtuosismo en cada nota. Uno de los grandes maestros del jazz. Histórico Baker. Excelente sonido.

I'm 43 and one birthday my older sister gave me a Chet baker cassette for my 15th birthday What a gift. Chet has always felt so sincere. So real. When you play an Intrument with the experiences of life ringing through with a unique such a unique talent. It's real. Real life. Real emotion can't be fabricated. This performance shows his wounds. Fantastic. Tears. So good. Love him at this point in his life. You can't duplicate this. Thank you Chet. Thank you.

Amazing Quartet - Chet Baker at its Bluest

[@paulhenner8914]

Have to agree with George below.................this is the best Chet has ever sounded ....So much emotion I think he knew his end was near........his soul is in this music..........RIP a great artist.

[@welshsasquatch6093]

Exquisitely beautiful version of Elvis Costello’s Almost Blue - the definitive version of this song.

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

Chet and Elvis' "Almost Blue" is one of my favorite Chet songs, it was Chet's also. I think it showed.

Chet's music continues to inspire all these years later. SO thankful to have seen and met this LEGEND at The Jazz Showcase. I sat through two sets, completely in AWE of this amazingly lyrical musician. Mr. Baker graciously autographed three albums I'd brought to his gig. His albums are on the wall of my music practice room all these years later, providing inspiration.

[@MrCockytoad]

John freakin" Engels! One of Chet's favorite drummers, which is saying quite alot!

[@edsmusic1000]

The best Chet's sounded. Tokyo was one of his best performances!!!

[@tacey505]

the pure genius, boggles the mind, reading Deep in a Dream, a fantastic bio that has you crying all the way through, always blue

[@erkkiperttula9166]

[@thierrydumas]

Un Client Anglais m'a offert il y a 5 /6 ans le CD de ce Live. Je l'écoute souvent en bossant à mon bureau , Je découvre la vidéo et les figures des 3 autres musiciens qui sont vraiment au top.La jeunesse de la voix de Chet m'a toujours étonné

[@kevinfleischer59]

Grew up listening to Jazz like (Oscar Petersen) in the sixties...My father and all my uncles were Jazz 🎷 musos... Love CB...he's up there with the best...Love Jazz.

Chet sounds great!!! So brilliant!!

Chet's in the zone on this one!

Para mi,el maestro trompetista de jazz,de todos los tiempos.

[@william195518]

I love the Rock 60 and part of 70, but when I listen to jazz and especially Chet Baker I realize how wonderful that music, great Chet

[@MART0613]

I love how he started his first note here. the day before I had turned 27 and decided to leave Narita for New York for the first time.

[@jenray1uk]

Lovely man, just love listening to him...:)

[@alinasteiner5202]

I found Chet's music by accident and I'm now a big fan! Just ordered one of his albums and my parents think its kinda weird that a sixteen year old is listening to jazz

[@kennethtalbott2233]

i think it's more weird that they don't get it. welcome to the club and enjoy the fruits that chet and co have harvested for us.

[@joefearon2843]

Don't fret I was 14 when it all started I'm still here three years later

[@Atensss]

me too¡¡¡ i started to love chet baker when i was 13

[@matth6932]

Enjoy the Chet Baker journey...books, film and discography. Sad but beautiful musician. I started listening to jazz in grade 10...now I am 42 and play in a small jazz band...keep going and exlplore more!

[@paulh6998]

You get it, and in time........your parents don't. Congratz ;)

[@alexchivers2386]

This version of My Funny Valentine gives me goosebumps. Absolutely amazing.

[@Bo-tz4nw]

Can´t be better....pure feeling, just....listen...

[@andresannasanna]

I was 20 and Chet was back. Now i'm near 50 and the feeling still the same

[@SuperKeswick]

One of Chets best later performances, he looks good and unusually for this period is in a suit and that first class rhythm section led by Harold Danko superb .

[@aragon1253]

Huge Chet fan here. But that bass player is awesome.

[@xoen6]

Oh, yes.

[@sonicsnap1173]

I really like to cruise through Paris streets at night while listening to this music..

[@NorthWoodsCountryBoy]

I’d love to do that someday! Chet is the greatest, and Paris is one of my favorite cities on earth!

[@woodrowclose]

Ideally in a Citroen DS

[@georgetheonlyporge]

Chet has never played better than on this glorious night in Tokyo, he was absolutely flawless! And the band was fantastic, too, of course.

[@Minupark_KSC]

+georgetheonlyporge it's because it was the last live concert that he played, before he is gone. I am crying now.

[@georgetheonlyporge]

+Minwoo Park that is very sweet of you, young lady. but please forgive me for correcting you as Chet has played one more live concert before his death, and that was in my country Germany. www.amazon.com/My-Favourite-Songs-Great-Concert/dp/B000005C8B/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441955666&sr=8-1&keywords=chet+baker+live

[@hommefriday]

+georgetheonlyporge Many of these wonderful musicians seemed to have sensed that their time with us was to end and I felt this with many of them. Billie Holiday on her "Satin Lady" is a prime example. The most outstanding concert was in a Stan Getz - he played to be with us till eternity.

[@no1r]

He played his best version ever of My Funny Valentine too... it's just perfect. They got good heroin in Japan, maybe :)

[@georgetheonlyporge]

no1r As far as I know he had permission to bring methadone along with him. So he was practically straight that night.

[@amor1917]

so much jazz take you to fly back to sweet old times thank you.

[@jackwar8779]

Probably one of his BEST concerts in the latter days of his life! His extraordinary ability was able to put him up for a musicale' such as this. Thanks for the posting, no one has come along siince to repalce him, and I don't think anyone can in our lifetime!

[@AFaceintheCrowd01]

The illuminating, nicely paced bio by Jeroen de Valk reckons this record contains CB’s “best work ever.”

[@guitarheroguy5]

Chet is just the best of all time. I'm sorry, there's no debate. We are blessed that his music survived and we get to experience it. Life might suck, but it's nowhere near as bad as Chet's blowing is good. RIP Chesney. Thanks for the music.

[@jimmyfulig997]

i was 24 when i started listening jazz.i was 25 when i heard Chet Baker firstly.now i am 29 and i know that it is never enough of Chet .THANKS for upload . peace from Hungary

I was the same age as you when I discovered Chet. I am now 49 years old and my passion for him is still the same.. Thanks for your comment.

[@naufal2069]

I discovered Chet at 17

[@carlosdavalos6247]

GwasH SwagH jimmy fulig I'm 54 and I just found Chet Baker by a weird coincidence. I've listen to Miles Davis and I rather listen to Chet before I listen to MIles. I can't get enough of Chet

[@rickwade6440]

+Scarlet Fire Me, too, but I am nearly 60. You are never too young to learn to appreciate jazz.

[@HJKelley47]

+Rick Wade Well I am 69, and started listening to jazz at 5. Been 64 yrs of some of the most talented musicians of the era of jazz. Have never tired of the music form! Grew up with Miles, for he was a friend of my father. Chet was so talented, but then I've heard some of the best. For those who upload these on YT, thank you. Miles, Chet, Coltrane, Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Monk, Silvers, Hubbard, Evans, Getz, Hampton, Hutcherson, Jackson, Hancock, Joe Henderson, Coleman, Wayne Shorter, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Ron Carter, Clifford, Lee Morgan, Mingus, Monk and the list goes on and on. This music is a national treasure!

[@exjazzer]

Chet at the top of his game. He will always be in our memory.

[@damiano66TO]

Chet Baker was a giant of jazz. Watching this video is really astonishing admire how he managed playing and singing so incredibly well and in a such easy way in the latest years of his carrer, when he was suffering serious problems of health. Everyone should have in own's home this legendary double cd. The musicians are simply fantastic, especially Harold Danko on piano. Thanks a lot for posting.

[@vladimirpisetsky5510]

He is very emotional and simple. Not a giant like Andrew Hill. Just an opinion.

[@doc4573]

What a wonderful night! personnel: pianist Harold Danko, bassist Hein Van Der Geyn and drummer John Engels.

[@exjazzer]

Wonderful performance. We miss Chet.

[@bobthompson3739]

Chet the magician, from where on earth does he get this magic? The complete original, no licks or jazz clichés, pure invention, moreover, the ideas just seem to pour out in a continuance stream. Chet, Clifford, Miles and Louis are in another league.

[@edsmusic1000]

Never heard him In better condition. He was In Top, Top form on that night. Chet Baker fans needed about 50 more albums from the Master before his death. So sad!!! R.I. P. Chet and Thank you very much for your career. Luv ya baby!!!
