Chet Baker - For All We Know

- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Recorded just before he passed and released posthumously, this is some of Chet's best work. Arguably it's his best work. As his life deteriorated from drugs through the years, his work had suffered and he had faded from the music world. It all came together in this concert in Tokyo. Absolutely fantastic musicians backing him up, and Chet had somehow come back into top form for this show. In fact he was better than he used to be, the years, the pain, the experiences, the feeling all came through in a more mature fashion in his voice and trumpet.
A master's summation of his talent.
I want this song to my funeral! I have turned 80.....
I'm just sitting here with my eyes closed at 3:30 am, listening to this for the first time and tears are flowing down my face. That's all.
MrPatricioG yes I enjoyed his music to the problem though is not crying when you're listening to him the problem is you think you're here listening to Chet Baker
Same but seven years later and it's 4:05 AM
Be grateful you found this treasure. Few do.
Right as it may...
I’m sitting here at 2:30 a.m. and loving this amazing tune.
Chet, for all his troubles, was always like a dear friend you love and cherish in spite of the problems.... the lost times, the disappointments... none of it mattered... it was Chet and we loved him till the end. Rest in peace buddy. I hope all your sufferings are over.
Love Chet Baker. Exquisite singing and playing. Undeniable💯🔥🔥🔥
All his troubles are way over.....you may not believe this but he came to me in my dream. I was walking in this meadow and he was sitting on the side of this beautiful sloping hill and he was eating a sandwich slowly.... as I walked past him he just looked up at me and smiled....what a great guy !!!!
For all we know
We may never meet again
Before we go
Make this moment live again
We won't say goodbye
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This might only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripples, like the ripples in the stream
So baby, love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Oh, but tomorrow
But tomorrow may never, never come
For all we know
Yes, tomorrow may never, never come
For all we know
Thanks for writing^
Make this moment "sweet" again, not "live" again.

My friend passed away earlier this year in a work accident at the age of 17. It was only 7 days before that happened that he shared this song. It was the last song he shared. So beautiful.
Don't even know how to respond to this. He was well beyond his years if he not only was aware of this beautiful composition, but was wise enough to share it as well. I'll pray for his soul, and for yours.
Thank you my friend. He was one of a kind but will always live on in my heart!
it has been 5 years, how have you been man? :)
"My friend passed away earlier this year in a work accident at the age of 17. It was only 7 days before that happened that he shared this song. It was the last song he shared. So beautiful."
Tell your friend when you reunite with him in Heaven that his taste in music is the very best of the very best.
He Sounds like a mature soul to appreciate this song at 17. That’s remarkable and what a terrible loss to the world.
Can't believe I'm 52 and never heard of this man !!!!! As I sit here crying like a teenage school girl!!!!
Discovering Chet is like losing your virginity all over again. You might want to read his biography "Deep in a Dream."
Better late than never. I cry every time I hear this song.
Stan Modjesky Thank u for the book.
Welcome to the party.
God ! he allways make´s me cry too man
A really soulful, deeply emotional rendition of one of the greatest and saddest and most philosophical love songs ever written. This song is one of the great masterpieces of the American Song Book and these musicians all do it justice.

How true. The way Chet sings it it becomes almost Shakesperian. And that trumpet solo almost kills me everytime.
Well, it's kind of a hookup song, not so philosophical really. Don't get me wrong, it's a great song, only not "one of the most philosophical love songs ever written" to me.
Brave and beautiful. Masculine, yet tender and ever so wise. Complete. Whole. Sad and uplifting all at once. Masterpiece.
You break my heart over and over, Chet, and I suppose you always will...
REST IN PEACEMR. CHET BAKER. I STILL LOVE YOU SIR. AGAIN REST IN PIECE MY DEAR FRIEND
Always Chet
I had the priviledge of meeting Chet Baker in Tulsa, Ok in the early eighties.
I have been a fan from that day forward! There was nothing ordinary about him.
Not the way he lived his life or played the trumpet! He was indeed one of the
"Best of the Best" and his music will be around for eternity......R.I.P. you are missed.
The depth and quality of his hauntingly beautiful voice and horn bring you to places in your heart and soul you have never visited until Chet. You can't help but know that his voice and music will pass down through generations to come. He's in a class all of his own! Maria

What do you mean by the depth of his voice?
@@Chloe-lu4xk listen to his very early singing, then this - his voice deeper, fuller, older, full of the depth of life
@@arlenemassey7286 kind of like Billie Holiday (the greatest in my view)....like a very fine wine.....
I'm pretty sure this is what perfection sounds like.

WE LOVE YOU CHET BAKER. YOU WERE MAGNIFICENT. REST IN PEACE, SIR
I just discovered chet at 67, unbelievably a jazz lover why didn't someone tell me? Proof that its never too late to excel in the art you love above all. Someone will hear, and live on to tell of you. Marina Garcia Gelpe
Me too at 66. Just discovered him and listened to jazz my whole life. He will get me through the Pandemic. I'm in love! Hard to know which is sweeter the trumpeter or the singer.
Too often I see comments like yours from people of your age. Considering movies have been made too...Chet deserved much more love during his life. I was only 10 when he felt out that window.
Everyone's experience is different. I heard of him because of Christa Päffgen & Bruce Weber. Whatever.
In the hush of midnight's shadowed tune,
Chet's trumpet weeps beneath the moon.
Notes like teardrops softly fall,
Echoes of a melancholy call.
In smoky rooms where shadows dance,
Chet's horn weaves a forlorn romance.
A solitary sigh, a lonesome cry,
As melodies of heartache amplify.
His trumpet whispers tales untold,
Of love that's young, and love grown old.
Through muted brass, a mournful plea,
A requiem for lost ecstasy.
A lonely street, a dim-lit bar,
Chet's music drifts like a fading star.
In every chord, a soul laid bare,
A sonnet of sorrow suspended in air.
Each breath he takes, a heavy sigh,
A wistful echo, a muted goodbye.
Through amber notes, the pain unfolds,
A symphony of sorrows, stories untold.
The night embraces the mournful sound,
As Chet's trumpet weeps, unbound.
A ballad etched in shadows deep,
In the music of Chet, the sadness seeps.
Damn. I found this gem years ago when I was out of a psych ward. Those were rough years. That's the past now. For all I know, it may only be a dream. :)
I'm so happy to have heard of him this early of my life.
I've always loved this song.... but, omg, his voice is so poignant, he makes those lyrics so true.... Add his horn & Harold Danko's piano & it's a perfect recipe to melt your heart. Beautiful.
Woah. I haven't listened to this one that much to acknowledge it, but holy shit. This is 8 minutes of pure greatness.
Dancing with my loved one at 2 am the last song in the club. No matter who sings it, Chet, Nat, Dinah, they are all gone God bless them. And now my loved one is gone too. But for all we know.....
What you wrote made me cry. When did she go?
Try June Christy's version.
If you want a pop soul ballad version, don't forget Donny Hathaway.
And Abbey Lincoln’s version is heartbreaking.
How lovely this is.
The photos are fabulous!
The applause sealed my eyes. Great version to hear for first time. Thank you for posting this recording :)
Destroys me every time I listen to it. And it feels GREAT!!!
I love Chet Baker! I remember hearing him once in awhile on the radio, they didn't play his music alot publicly! When I heard his music later on, I cried with all the tragic memories of life that he makes you deal with, straight up - like he's the music angel making you release pain with his deep smooth sultry rooted magic!
At the end of the day, no matter how good or bad the day was, I always put on Chet Baker. For the sake of my soul and for the calmness I need.
It doesn't get any better than this. Much love from Portugal.
I’m envolved in tears! This is so beautiful!
May this melody guide you to a place of tranquility and reflection. May it remind you of the love that surrounds you, the beauty that exists in every moment, and the strength that lies within you.❤
Jazz is Chet as Classical is Mahler ...both life is love love and love ... forever and forever
Magical. Chet is a legend. Much peace and love to you, Chet.
❤ Your soul's music is eternal.
This song happened to me for the most part... her and I had a very deep, very intense emotional & physical relationship. It went nowhere as it should, she was married and it happened mostly like the song....she was gorgeous and beautiful ... oh well, lesson learned.
Time to dream...time to feel time to be in love with a song like this and an artist like him...Chat Baker...love him....
This video should be required viewing for all our young people to show them how drugs (heroin in Chet's case) can wreck a life. Look at the deterioration of this once very handsome young Chet Baker to the old before his time face that shows the agony of drug addiction. Chet was such a wonder musician and vocalist, such a sin how we lost this giant talent. Thank God we have his recordings like this lovely tune to listen to. Thank you for posting - its such a loving tribute to a guy we all loved his music.
Yes, for the life of me, I can't understand this. His talent is priceless. How I wish I can just sing!! I ONLY SING WHEN AM A BIT TIPSY. I'm so inhibited. Yes, thank you for sharing
Bijou Austin That was the thing with Chet's addiction. A person couldn't possibly go out on a bandstand night after night and lay bare his heart and soul without having it destroy them.
Yet for all that sensitivity, a lot of people in his life suffered abuse of one kind or another from him. He's such a paradox. I don't think you could write a fictional character any more strange and complex than Chet Baker.
Yes, its heartbreaking. His songs are hauntingly beautiful. You've got to be braindead not to appreciate his music. Thanks for sharing. B
Because great art comes out of the friction between great light and great darkness - that's why, guys. I have known (and know) world class artists, who were questionable characters in real life. It took me years to understand it.
So true...
I have loved this song forever, I used to sing it without feeling, it was just words when I performed, albeit words with feeling, but now, alone, the words mean so much more, deepened with the thoughts that this great musician is gone from us now. RIP, Chet, you will ALWAYS be loved and remembered for the great music you gave us. What a gifted man he was. His soft, sensual voice, ALWAYS right on pitch, and his horn, along with Danko and group, combine to make this a very memorable recording. THANK YOU FOR POSTING!
Word same one day it clicks huh? or breaks rather
Wow, just wow! I want to hear it again.
Thank You for this record....He was a true artist and his music lives forever....
Hauntingly beautiful, indeed! Can almost hear the pain/hurt in his voice.
So very true... This man is one of the greatest, from such light to darkness, OMG. What a shame...rip Chet.
Such beauty is so often so fragile in life. :(
So true, so sad and yet so unbelievable beautiful.
They don't make them like that anymore - How I wish I could live back in the 50s and 60s to appreciate the masters.
Well that is just lovely. Add Donny Hathaway and Lilah Hathaway and you have an amazing trifecta. I didn't know that Chet had done this song. Thank you so much for posting!
Molten melancholy. Love the bass.
I think that it is quite poetic that this is one of his last performances before he passed away. As the description have mentioned, it seemed like magic that this entire performance is more like a summation of the artist's works, really.
So good, great perception!!
HolyChet,,beautiful, just beautiful!
Wow ... what a great rendition
Absolutely sublime !
I'm totally agree with you. This voice, this sound is magic to my heart.
Chet Baker touched so many hearts....
Thank you for uploading this great piece!
I'm drinking to you Chet, if only all nights could be like this..
My favorite Chet tune! His tone is fascinating to listen to here, so tasty, not overdone just pure and simply Chet!
Heart breaking invocation of first love remembered from a distance. At least that is what I get from it . . . though I never experienced such a thing . . . . alas!
+Robert Crowe your not ah lone thi
Too precious for words. May you rest in eternal peace Chet.
What a superb performance the guy was geneous a brilliant trumpeter and the vocal is amazeing
Absolutely beautiful.
OMG... What a treat to stumble on this by accident. I could listen to this music all day! Pianist is also superb!
great song, magnificent execution !!!!
A wonderful friend of mine recommended this video and song and after listening and watching it, I wanted to not only thank you for uploading it, but also praise you for such an excellent job. Truly outstanding...thank you.
Always Chet
This is one of his best...I really hope wherever in the universe he is, he knows that his music is bringing lots of smiles to lots of people...
You can feel this artist as if it were you, yourself, performing. Worthy of sharing every chance you get. - RWJ
Great photos, too! Thanks!
Nothing to add of such great saying before me. Its a delicious to hear him.
AND thanks for posting - it is an incredible pleasure to listen to this - it is a treasure.
Very well said it....A true artist.......one of a kind he was,and he is forever....
Chet for then for now and for ever !!!...........🐓
Lindo, trabalho.Inesquecível.Minha alma ficou em festa..
Magic,pure fascination.
Such beautiful jazz. ❤️
I used to play upright bass like that, but not quite as precise. Sometimes I was close.
Probably could come close to that, if I had a jazz club to play in with lots of roses. 🌹
Obrigada! thank you!
from the heart... RIP chet
Excellent rendition!
Hey yo, understand a journeyman musician’s life is not all glitz and glamour, but a daily grind just to survive as a full time player.💯
this is so beautiful! thank you!
Esta melodia:confieso....quedo sin palabras...
This song always brings to mind "Once Upon Time." Just the sentiment, not the melody or lyric.
I told you that I will always love you Chet!! Why did U go away and leave me here so lonely, baby??
TIME MEASURED-how rare it is.
Love you Chet - So many miss you
When Mel Torme first heard Chet vocalising, he asked him to promise not to sing and Torme would promise never to play trumpet. Says it all, Wonderful! !
Nice picture work. very mint. ;)
ZachCraigenice
Deep In A Dream.
Fantastic💗
Oh and by the way, many artists down the ages had less than "moral lives" but they gave us so much back in their music, painting, prose, poetry, inventions etc. So who are we to judge? Thanks again, Chet.
un unico nell mondo della buona musica, grazie di cuore Chat Baker. per tutto quello che abbiamo ereditato da te. nel mondo della buona infinita insaziabile musica per le nostre anime,
Just puts everyone else in the shade
Just perfect..
so sad so beautiful RIP Chet
this is my favorite song since i heard it.
Most romantic song ever.
👍 *For pianists who want to play "For all we know" (by Bill Evans version) a new unpublished score, it's on my channel* 😉
Grande...un genio....che voce / meraviglia.
Te llega a los huesos. hermoso.
i know chetbaker with the world stop turning . LEGENDARY WORDS
Wonderful...
Dripping with sorrow - melancholy and frail.
And strength. A very masculine piece.
great!!! outstanding
They've made a film of his life. Starring Ethan Hawke as Chet. I've loved him since the 60s, such a tragic life, killed by heroin. Bless him. Xxx
watch another film called "Let's Get Lost". also the movie staring ethan hawke isnt of chet bakers whole life really. more a biopic of his later days. mostly from the time his jaw got fucked to his death i think? i cant remember
Its from when his teeths were knocked out to his comeback :)
Wes Ballantine let's get lost is my favorite by him. Ethan hawks does not do Chet any justice. Chet is way too complex. And mercurial.
That movie w/Ethan Hawke is what brought me to Chet
Awesome!
