When Chet was a kid, another kid threw a rock at him, and he lost a front tooth. He never fixed it yet played without it. The incident where he lost all his teeth happened much later. Hence, he wore dentures. Here, he is missing that one tooth, obviously. Just love Chet Baker ❤

[@blow-by-blow-trumpet]

Amazing! Chet was on fire! Everyone else is playing the chords but Chet plays pure melody. Absolutely inspirational. I've never met a trumpet player who didn't wish they could play melodic solo like this.

[@potatokaiyote]

What a time to be alive, seeing this in color!

[@massimilianoconte7901]

Wow! I didn't know that Franco Cerri, what a noble musician and man, played also double bass as well😅

Oh Yes, he was the greatest of them all...........💚💚💚

Love that rendition of All the Things. Classic Chet

[@lesterwyoung]

Great to hear an extended solo by Lars Gullin.

[@jazzygiraffe8589]

Really digging Mr Glauco Masetti on alto sax. I believe he's on a few other Baker recordings from Italy and I really like his tone and articulation. Some of the lines are also fantastic while admittedly being very much in the mainstream bebop bag.

[@jazzygiraffe8589]

Lars Gullin's also great.

👉🏻🖤👈🏻 Gracias!!!

[@AllinGold2]

Those lip bends he did are unmistakable when you hear them. Most jazz players half-valve everything, but he was bending notes with his lips. 18:57 You hear this a lot in "Summertime" and "There's a Small Hotel."

Great!!!

Cheta Fantastic !!

[@ronaldunkel2681]

His trademark tune/song “ My Funny…” There’s only been one Chet and he is sorely missed. Lovely album folks. And thanks for this unique upload. G’day & Cheers!

11:00. Romano Mussolini. He is the son of the well known dictator, Benito Mussolini, but that's another story.

HAHAHAHAHA

[@lesterwyoung]

You can't pick your parents! Does a good job on piano.

[@silva777]

He was a good pianist.

[@dennisleise5393]

I'm amazed he sounds as good as he does with those teeth being as they are. A friend of mine says, "You can always tell an American Musician-by-trade by their teeth--They are usually missing some...".

[@MaximusWolfe]

Your friend is a bit dim in the brain.

[@silva777]

Your friend is wrong.

You're not responsible for your parents!😀 He does a good job on piano.

[@marcelovorian72]

His lack of teeth are because of thugs who beat him cause of drug money debt he have. Very sad to see.

[@Kevin-jj3rf]

That was in 1966 :)

[@agatecub1703]

Actually he didn’t lose any teeth from that, just chipped some. He would later lose the rest to drugs though

[@lrn_news9171]

@@agatecub1703 He always had a couple from teeth missing even early in his career, it's an accident that occurred when he was quite literally a kid and then in 1966 he was beaten by thugs

[@lrn_news9171]

@@agatecub1703 You don't lose teeth from heroin, it's usually the lifestyle that addicts lead that lead to rotten teeth, lack of hygiene and highly sugary diet, no money for dental care etc..

[@luckyWaiting]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@informant09]

I will never understand why this guy had to start singing... his voice is one of the worst ive heard in my entire life but his trumpet playing is one of the best I have ever heard. Just stick to what you are good at..

[@valbastiancontraio2795]

I like his singing

[@MaximusWolfe]

He had a beautiful, dusky, vulnerability to his voice. Get your hearing checked.

[@AllinGold2]

His singing in the 1950s wasn't horrible. Certainly not great, but not horrible. Cigarettes and heroin took their toll in his later years.

[@antoniocoppola3481]

We all Love Chet

[@lrn_news9171]

His singing is an acquired taste, I personally like it on some songs
