Chet was so sharp here because he did not have access to heroin in Japan. Plain and simple. This is the most clean he had been in many years and it shows.
@@wallacecleaver4485 it’s documented that he only had access to methadone and alcohol while in Japan. The country has some of the strictest drug laws of any, especially so in the 80’s. Paul McCartney was jailed for 9 days after smuggling half a pound of pot into Japan, and if he hadn’t been a celebrity, could have faced 7 years of forced labor. I forgive you for calling me an imbecile, because unlike you, I don’t insult complete strangers.

To think Chet was struggling with addiction most if not all his Life, and was quite near the end here, and STILL could perform like this shows the SuperHero he was and continues to be in my daily Life.
This is music from Heaven...He plays the trumpet hypnotically...I must have replayed this Valentine deal over 400 times over and over...I can't stop....
One of the best trumpet improvisation of all times, and I heard A LOT. Musical inspiration is out of this world, listen carefully to the choice of notes, how he smoothly tights the whole harmonic development together while at the same time playing only fresh ideas in a perfect construction - and of course as everyone else said, with such a deep and moving feeling... unreal performance here !
Chet is the kind of guy most people brush off early as musicians, but somehow if you come back for a second round, you realize that there's so much more under the surface, and you get mesmerized, carried away. RIP Mr Baker, you will always be an inspiration.
This is the meaning of being an artist: telling a life story with the heart 💙 Thank you Chet for making me be a jazz artist. I’ll be forever grateful for that day you saved my life. Hope I can honor you one day
The Live in Tokyo album is simply astonishing. His playing is on a different level to so many before and after this recording- just glad we got to hear him play like this!
This version makes me feel emotional. Baker seems like a very poignant and sensitive person. Looking at his face while he plays I can see the ravages of time and experience. He really gets to the heart of this song. I love listening to his soothing voice and playing in the wee hours when I am studying and all is quiet. And his fellow musicians too, they are a great ensemble. Love you Chet Baker.
Магия исполнения Чета Бейкера - в ней хранится какой то большой секрет, ....... Сколько бы не слушала, - хочется ещё и ещё , ..... Снова, и снова, , .... Благодарю Бога, что подарил миру Чета , Бейкера ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Pure bliss. The audience was blessed to see such a performance. When I hear this song , this performance... the emotion is so raw , so real , so amazing , so powerfull, damn I wish I was there. Love this performance . his age increases the songs meaning like a fine wine. the sincerity he plays with. This is no b.s. this man has lived it at this point. He plays with experience and knowing and when I listen to this it brings me to tears that something can sound so good , so real.
This is the jazz I love. I love all kinds of music but I find that by reading the comments for jazz videos that the genres music fans are tthe fans that really know what to listen for in music. They understand that music is conversation, feel and technical prowess all harnessed into a musical canvas that, once created, may never be duplicated. This is what makes jazz musicians so unique and their fans so unique as well.
I don't know why, but I only cried when I looked at and listened to this video. Chet defintely was the boss of bosses, a kind of messiah!!! For sure we will never see and hear in our lives a more gifted talent than he was...
I never Chet Baker and deeply regret it. He had such feeling for melodic sound---setting ones mood with every note. Just simply great expression and improvisation....what a great talent
damn i never even saw this pianist before, but he's swingin like hell, plays my funny valentine and not just its changes, and feels every note. great stuff
Chet Baker, canta y ejecuta la trompeta , gracias por tu música , cuánto nos gustaría que estés aún con nosotros en estos tiempos difíciles de pandemia y nos alegras la vida Chet.
As a beginner trumpet player I sincerely thank the cameraman for capturing the valve combinations chets playing here, it helps me learn some of his licks to incorporate into my own playing
i did'nt like jazz.. i never learn it. Some mounths ago i start to play clarinet in a private school. Now, thanks to Chet, i play jazz every day and i could play it forever
A lot of the things Chet played - I can't get enough of. This however, even for Chet, is special. His "Autumn Leaves" with Paul Desmond is another I can't get enough of.
Precisely! ...It's music from HEAVEN! ...No other way to describe it. ...Chet brought feelings from deep SOUL and HEART, and expressed them in the highest musical artfulness.
Ah, the ultimate version of his signature tune. The solo is a destillation of all the qualities Chet had refined over a fort year career. Pure musical wisdom!

Chet this is your best rendition, by far. Saw your mesmerising performances several time live in Nick’s Jazz Joint in Laren Holland, during the 70’s. But this playing here with outstanding backing -takes the cake-! You’re sorely missed, and i’m sure you’re now playing to the angels in all their be wonderment. Thank you & Cheers!
My dad & Mr Baker hung out together when he came to Pittsburgh he came over to our house all the time for a spaghetti dinner its cool that i broke bread with this man but even more amazing Chet said my dad was one of the best horn players he ever met and was one of the only men he respected in the music industry
I have one thing to thank my ex for....... introducing me to the fabulous Chet Baker :) I have so many of his albums and never get tired of listening to them.
His journey in Japan was actually one of his healthiest moments. He was unable to find heroin there and played his concerts with just some drinks. If you watch videos from a few years later in the Netherlands... THERE he was in very poor health.
This performance of Chet Baker reminds me of my favorite opera composer, Richard Wagner: a deeply flawed man capable of creating music that moves us and manipulates us in ways we can hardly perceive.

Samir Mokdad Thank you Samir. From the first time I listened to Chet Baker, I was mesmerized with both his Horn as with his vocals. I listen to him at every chance that I get. It puts me in another world, a very nice world all of my own. What a talent!
his playing at this concert was at a different level to anything else from that era. I gather he had to be pretty clean due to Japan laws on drugs. To me, his playing on this night (captured on the live in tokyo album) is his best ever.

Nay Japan was Big H
...
Chet Baker in Tokyo is one of the finest recorded concerts ever.
So true!
I agree, I would lo me to buy it but no way
Yup- this is a Chet Baker we seldom heard. His playing on this album is, to me, his best ever
He's one of the finest recorded artists ever

you are right, he died not long after this
This song alone deserves a 10-minute standing ovation.
張心哲 Only??? That's too short!!! :)
Wlling to give this song and performance a 10 YEAR ovation! LOve you Chet!
This is music from Heaven...He plays the trumpet hypnotically...I must have replayed this Valentine deal over 400 times over and over...I can't stop....
bless you, ROCKY
me too. just hypnotic....
Perhaps he now plays lead trumpet in heaven.
me too......simply stunning.
Simply beautiful!!

Nice analysis of the solo, my friend. I paid attention and yes, you are right...
Chet Baker is a musician whereby every cell of his body embodies Jazz
The pianist deserves a medal
That synchopation on the double bass against the drums... !!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing better... ever.
Like a gently bubbling stream.
Chet is the kind of guy most people brush off early as musicians, but somehow if you come back for a second round, you realize that there's so much more under the surface, and you get mesmerized, carried away. RIP Mr Baker, you will always be an inspiration.
How true. It´s disgusting how this genius is casually written off by, especially american, critics.
I’m becoming a fan of that “cool” era of jazz but this a.m. is great!!
Have always loved Chet singing My Funny Valentine. Lovin that era of jazz❤

Tears well up as soon as the first note of that horn hits. Wow! This is as near to perfect as music gets.
I hope Chet hears me as he plays his beautiful music in Heaven. I love you Chet!
This is the meaning of being an artist: telling a life story with the heart 💙
Thank you Chet for making me be a jazz artist. I’ll be forever grateful for that day you saved my life. Hope I can honor you one day

I think this is my favourite of all time. Such an outstanding performance.
A comment like thisjust warms my heart. Why ´don´t more listeners hear the magic? Cheers, brother!
Right. Better than Miles Davis on this song.
Music like this is addictive once you get a taste for it.
I could listen to Chet Baker for hours.

Tokyo is a holy city for the jazz muse. Rock on Chet!
THIS IS A PHENOMINAL PIECE OF AMERICAN JAZZ & CHET BAKER IS UNDERRATED .
GOD BLESS JAZZ MUSIC.
I never Chet Baker and deeply regret it.
He had such feeling for melodic
sound---setting ones mood with every
note.
Just simply great expression and
improvisation....what a great
talent
Perfect. Like he plays from another planet or universe to us. Just perfect, almost holy.
Not holy - Bakery!
Possibly his greatest performance. Certainly his chops were up for this one. Such depth of emotion.
this is absolutely mesmerizing.
True master artist with a lifetime of scars and experience coming out of that horn !
One magic sentence! You nailed it!
damn i never even saw this pianist before, but he's swingin like hell, plays my funny valentine and not just its changes, and feels every note. great stuff
Hauntingly beautiful

Chet makes me cry, so melancolic, so beautiful, he put in your mouth your soul
to play your trumpet and sing songs
His face is worth a thousand words. Tragically beautiful.
i did'nt like jazz.. i never learn it. Some mounths ago i start to play clarinet in a private school. Now, thanks to Chet, i play jazz every day and i could play it forever
A lot of the things Chet played - I can't get enough of. This however, even for Chet, is special. His "Autumn Leaves" with Paul Desmond is another I can't get enough of.
I need more music like this. Some of these Chet recordings are straight MAGIC!

Wow, I'm astounded! Best of Chet I've seen.
truly love his work, his playing is so wonderful....
One of the greatest of all time. Absolutely amazing!
Of all the renditions I have heard, and there have been many, this is my favorite. Captures me and bathes me every time I listen to it.
Yes, this is his final and ultimate statement of this tuene! True magic.

Exquisite... Thank you Chet Baker, you were incomparable.
БРАВО, СУПЕР, УНЕКАЛЬНО🎉🎉🎉
I'm convinced he sprinkles magic dust over these songs --- the indefinable Chet Baker touch.
.
The greatest trumpet solo of all time --- it brings tears to my soul
Amazing. He was in poor health and still produced this.
kevin frost And the 41 people who voted this thumbs down have no fucking soul. I am convinced of it.
Pardon my french.
His journey in Japan was actually one of his healthiest moments. He was unable to find heroin there and played his concerts with just some drinks. If you watch videos from a few years later in the Netherlands... THERE he was in very poor health.
Amo Chet.Pianista sustenta maravilhosamente. O baixista destrói .Criatividade de todos os sons.
This Trio in itself is incredible...
Absolutely fantastic !
A voice and a performer from another age. Ooozes soul.
He can tell a whole story without words
É bom estar vivo pra ouvir essa maravilha!
+vicente paulo Si, es una maravilla poder escuchar ese deleite de melodia :)
+vicente paulo Gênio!
Necta sonoro dos Deuses
Absolutely brilliant and beautiful Bass solo
I have said it Many times . He was the coolest dude
Miles Davis couldn't handle it. So much soul. I am in tears . What a wasted talent. Rest in peace.
Lesson of music soul and heart...
Great performance, chet has always been my favorite. I made three paintings of him as a Jazz artist.
This performance of Chet Baker reminds me of my favorite opera composer, Richard Wagner: a deeply flawed man capable of creating music that moves us and manipulates us in ways we can hardly perceive.
He was an angel , tryin' to live among us..
So well said!
God bless you Chet,always in my heart man
Thank God for a man such as this.
Great performance! So happy for the audience. They had a great treat!
Simply magisterial! Beautiful!
just BEATIFUL and perfekt :) thanks for your TALENT
Chet Baker left an indelible mark on the soundscapes of music.
Strenght and sensibility together...what a feeling. AMAZING
I mean, this is the right way to sing it!!! love it!!!
Não me canso de ouvir, ouvir, ouvir....
The world will be fine; we have this recording.
Chet Baker in Tokyo..awesome show
and what a great pianist!
It is a delicate artist, playing his trumpet, like his voice; sensual, steamy.Je suis Français.Excusez moi pour la traduction.
Chet Baker was fabulous! My Funny Valentine with Chet Baker for every day.
One of the greatest live performers in jazz. Never played a solo the same way twice.
Getekend door het leven. Wat een artiest. "The legend" wat mij betreft. Snif snif
There will never be another Chet Baker.
Chet was one of those guys who's the voice stopped in time. RIP Champ may you are in peace now
I wish I could have known him-? Maybe next world!!!♥️♥️♥️
Труба + вокал. Отличное сочетание в рамках джаза. Редкая запись, кстати. Спасибо.
This performance is lethally beautiful.
