I think Costello's performance is great from phrasing to hitting his notes, holding them, listening to the music, interaction and chemistry with Baker and the other musicians. (AND no pressure performing with one of the greatest vocalists and instrumentalists of the 21st century.) To me it's a successful performance, and I have new respect for Costello.
Holy shit. I love Elvis Costello since 1977 and Chet Baker after Shipbuiding ('83) but this song I just found now for the first time. Not the best of either of them but the combination is perfect like this.
In fact, he was a prolific recording artist (he recorded over 100 albums during his lifetime) and made a profound mark on jazz, helping to shape its course during a career that lasted almost 40 years. Three decades after his death, the world's fascination with Chet Baker is as strong as ever. Source: uDiscover Music
This song rips my heart everytime I listen to it. The text is so beautifull, so fair and raw.... Some people really don't know what love is and too much tears are shed because of them...
I too was impressed by Costello's sensitivity in this performance. But then I found out he wrote one of Chet's signature tunes, "Born to be Blue". He is not as good a vocalist as he is a songwriter, but honor is due.
like yes,great.. hits you right in the center,t he passion,the hurt, the emotion is all right here... ole chet,he never gave a damn of his addictio,n,, a tortured soul, a long suicide... the best would say, this white cat can play... rip ....
You don't know what love is Until you've learned the meaning of the blues Until you've loved a love you had to loose You don't know what love is You don't know how lips hurt Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost Until you've flipped you're heart and you have lost You don't know what love is Do you know how a lost heart fears The thought of reminiscing And how lips have taste of tears Loose the taste for kissing You don't know how hearts burn For love that cannot live, yet never dies Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes You don't know what love is You don't know how hearts burn For love that cannot live, yet never dies Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes How could you know what love is, what love is What love is Source: LyricFind
@@willemjansen1141 it was stated he couldn’t sing, not that he couldn’t sing or phrase jazz in a way conducive to your enjoyment. His breath control, tonality and tuning is all precise. Why make absolute comments?
I sat behind the board in jazz radio for 30 years. , 15 of which my program was 4 hours of ballads 5 days a week -- the better vocalist for this , as well as sitting next to Chet , would be Grady Tate -- Elvis doesn't do it ...
4am fucking perfection. The lyrics, the singing, the trumpeteering. Dislikers have never had their heart broken.
Don't forget, on piano the late Michel Graillier. Maybe one of the best sidemen of Chet - he plays ten years with Chet. RIP
So true

The song, that song
The sadness of Chet
Broken man, broken soul, broken all,
Costello touched the cord
Broke my heart, made me cry.

Chet Baker is one of the legendary Jazz Gods ... No Question.
In fact, he was a prolific recording artist (he recorded over 100 albums during his lifetime) and made a profound mark on jazz, helping to shape its course during a career that lasted almost 40 years. Three decades after his death, the world's fascination with Chet Baker is as strong as ever.

you dont have to die to go to heaven.
but you do for hell
No, Robbie, listen to the words. Hell is in your broken heart, wherever you go
No, Robbie, listen to the words. Hell is in your broken heart, wherever you go
Two of my all time favorites - Elvis and Chet. The beauty and tenderness is ust heartbreaking
in the best sense of the term
Wow, I've never heard Elvis Costello like this. Chet Baker, of course.
I too was impressed by Costello's sensitivity in this performance. But then I found out he wrote one of Chet's signature tunes, "Born to be Blue". He is not as good a vocalist as he is a songwriter, but honor is due.
@@johntechwriter It's Elvis' voice that captivates me.
The bass player - he's Chet's dream.
It feels as the roots of Sade were born in this performance. Wonderfully soft and deep. Makes you want to stay in the mood forever.

Es muchísimo mejor la versión de chet baker superior e inigualable nadie es mejor que chet baker❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you had to loose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped you're heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is
Do you know how a lost heart fears
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips have taste of tears
Loose the taste for kissing
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live, yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live, yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
How could you know what love is, what love is
What love is

Sì...
makes my heart sink
Who's the singer?
tough listening to Elvis try to sing the melody on this tune. Not sure he really knows it.
I love Chet but a pentatonic and Elvis Costello is hardly a legacy. Good on Elvis for doing he gig.
this is horrible - please stop singing and let Chet take over
👎👎👎 nope
@ come on, he doesn’t even know the lyrics - please listen to chet singing it
Costello is an awful singer. His intonation is terrible, as with someone you'd cringe at in a karaoke bar. Why is he famous?
This BLOKE Can't sing ,
Shut up you complete idiot, I’m classically trained, he can sing.
Being classically trained does not make you a jazz expert lol
