Chet is a musician who transcend time, is a musician who has the sound in itself, innovative, highly sensitive and competent. Stan is also the same level. Jazz geniuses that we will always miss and leave huge miss.
I'm a parisian. French. Great jazz music amateur. This guy is, for me, one of the greatest jazz player in the whole world. He's a genius. So sensitive. So great. So genious.
@@aleixpizasureda8067 as accurately as chet baker? You can definitely imitate the timbre of instruments to varying degrees, but chet baker is well known for his scat singing. He does it well and that's the point.
I had the honor of hearing him play live in Vancouver B.C. around the same time this video was made. He opened the show with Just Friends and it was a magical evening. While hanging out after with the local musicians who backed him up for the performance, he bashed his head really hard on a basement pole, playing Ping Pong. Who knows how much alcohol or other drugs had been consumed at that point, but for a few brief moments while Chet was out cold, they thought they might have killed him.
Just friends, lovers no more, just friends, but not like before to think of what we've been, and not to kiss again seems like pretending it isn't the ending. Two friends, drifting apart, two friends, and one broken heart We loved, we laughed, we cried, and suddenly love died the story ends and we're just friends.
I cannot thank RUclips enough of creating the possibility to release these gems to us. These two musicians, as we say in India, take us towards a God. Thanks so much nilsjoela
@@VerticalWit Paul Desmond isn't as powerful, but just as melodic. Jim Hall too, I think Bill Evans packs the punch and articulation that Chet has, also occassionally Wes Montgomery, although it may just be due to his constant swing.

Jim McNeely...wasn't that Adam Neely's composition teacher at Berklee or Manhattan School of Music or somewhere? It's cool to see him as a session player and not just as a teacher.
It's weird; I've heard this album countless times, but this is the first time I have seen the video. I didn't even know it existed.. my imagination was quite different heheh. Wonderful.
I have heard the word 'gifted' all my life. Most of the time, I'm not even sure if it exists, except in the realm of ideas. Artists have to spend hours and years honing their craft, no matter how much natural talent they seem to have. But for Chet Baker, though he did spend hours and years honing the craft of his art, there was that 'certain something' that defies definition. The man WAS music. And when he played, sang, or did that marvelous scat singing that he did, something in it reached deeply into the soul of the listener. RIP, Chet. Your music is still touching people. And thank you, nilsjoela for posting this!
Actually, Chet was such a natural, his buddy, the recently deceased trumpet giant Jack Sheldon recounts a story about Chet: Sheldon is at home, shedding for hours on end, he hears a honk from downstairs. There's Chet, in his red sports car, sunroof open, calling on Jack to quit practicing and come on down, let's go to town, have a good time. Jack always said how much harder he had to work, while everything just seemed to come easy to Chet. Both astounding players. May they rest in peace btw I saw Jack Sheldon play (and sing) in L.A. in 2005...mind blowing
Chet is of course entirely magic on this - see how his trumpet solo repeats some of his scatting - but don't forget that George Mraz swings his ass off here very seriously
I`m always on the edge of my chair when Chet sings because he`s all over the place in his phrasing and timing. But just gotta love the guy and his trumpet.
Thanks to the Swedish TV 2. I love it when Chet Baker "play" voice trumpet and then his real trumpet. And again weaves tones along with Stan Getz sax. Just love it!
Chet Baker.........................words fail me. Just Beautiful, the both of them, piano guy too. **Let's Get Lost** 1988 (finished just before Baker died) is absolutely great. Saw it in NYC when it premiered there fall 1988.
I attended Jack Sheldon's funeral last Friday and one of the eulogists talked about a recording session where everyone thought they nailed it. All except for Jack. "Chet would have been much smoother," was Jack's comment.
David, I still have an autographed picture of Jack Sheldon sitting on a pile of worn out shoes! I wrote a fan letter to him after his comedy TV program got cancelled. It was called "Run, Buddy, Run!" I was in third grade at the time and didn't even know that he was a great trumpet player. Made the connection some years later when I saw him on the Merv Griffin show. Pretty sure that he was good friends with Chet.
This is awesome, but this tune was most definitely not written by Bill Watrous! The tune was written by John Klenner in 1931 and lyrics by Sam Lewis. Watrous did write a different tune called 'Just Fiends' But that was far more recent!Great post though:)
I Just love this performace. The way Stan looks at Chet when he has done his part of solo is something Getz to have acceptable standard for his and this standard.
An acrimonious "tête-à-tête" about music such as this, or for that matter about Music in general, is oxymoronic--not to mention juvenile--in my book. Thanks for posting this!
Great stuff - love Chet's singing here. Great ideas and intonation. I suppose this is why he always sounds like he's singing with his trumpet. On the "spat" with Getz, first I didn't think the playing with Stan was out of order at all. I thought they were playing good counter lines to one another. Sounded fine to my ears. However, When I looked at the start again, it seems after Stan looks at Chet and calls "Just Friends - You ready?" while he's counting it off Chet says something like "You're doing alright" and Stan says "Thank you" - in the middle of his counting. That could have pissed him off a bit. Also I don't think his trumpet at the end is any more obtrusive than Stan's sax while he's singing. But hey, that's only my opinion! I actually like the subscript of a rift between them - spices it all up a bit!

Aguante Chet
No bad English discerned. You did just fine!

imagine knowing the timbre of your instrument so well, you can sing it.
Insane stuff.
thats one of the reasons i love him he's got such a pretty voice and trumpet tone
He just forgot to take instrument
Musician here. Actually, that's one of the easiest things to do...

Just friends, lovers no more,
just friends, but not like before
to think of what we've been,
and not to kiss again
seems like pretending
it isn't the ending.
Two friends, drifting apart,
two friends, and one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried,
and suddenly love died
the story ends
and we're just friends.
Melancholy
Love th I so much my dad did it live with Billy watrus gaea what a genre at rendition of a wonderful song love anne

can't find someone like him. simple powerful melodies

Merci à tous les 2 pour ces précisions
Marry me.

The man's voice IS an instrument.
Got his teeth knocked out, relearned the trumpet. Incredible human being. Sucked that he had to battle addiction.
It's weird; I've heard this album countless times, but this is the first time I have seen the video. I didn't even know it existed.. my imagination was quite different heheh. Wonderful.
They blow my mind individually - but together? heaven!!!!
This is one of my favorite versions of 'just friends" love Chet Baker's solo
A thousand years from now they will still love Chet Baker.

Uno de los mejores solos de "scat singing" que he oído... ¡inigualable Chet!
Si a alguien le gusta esto deberia escuchar este tune de chet:

Unique and unforgettable. Iconic.✨
Chet is of course entirely magic on this - see how his trumpet solo repeats some of his scatting - but don't forget that George Mraz swings his ass off here very seriously
Again, Chet Baker, my friend.
What artistry.

Due grandi maestri di jazz .R.I.P.

I'm a big Chet Baker fan. Loved the voice and his playing 👍🏿💯

Chet Baker.........................words fail me. Just Beautiful, the both of them, piano guy too.

Chet Baker scatting sounds like heaven to me, he really has the music inside him
Great pianist, bassist and drummer too. Bassist excellent..
I Just love this performace. The way Stan looks at Chet when he has done his part of solo is something Getz to have acceptable standard for his and this standard.
Chet Baker is a legend in my book.how fabulous is this man.damn it he died too damn early.

Très très très belle version. Bravo !
Dois gigantes. Dois leões. Um completando o outro. Lindo vídeo. Parabéns nilsjoela

generic
So much music in his voice and trumpet.. just every songs got legs

Nice rhythm section. Jim McNeely, George Mraz, Victor Lewis. Swingin' hard.
getz and chet a perfect chemistry 101 of cool soothing jazz tunes...
I´ve been there...beautiful musik
Que gran MUSICO!!! inigualable en su estilo Chet Baker for ever!!!
チャーリー パーカーのJust Friends聴いて、この曲が大好きになりました。チェットのボーカルも、素敵です。💖
NIce...Chet Baker so genuine...
an unsung hero. Chet is one of the best jazz trumpet players and singers that there ever was.
An acrimonious "tête-à-tête" about music such as this, or for that matter about Music in general, is oxymoronic--not to mention juvenile--in my book. Thanks for posting this!
Sem dúvida alguma, um dos melhores trumpetistas e cantor de jazz, um cara clássico!
Stan and Chet, how wonderful that can be.
Both of them playing at the top of their game. I love the interplay between Stan and Chet.
Denis
Todos os estágios da sua "superação", pra nós, simples mortais, é arte!

So intimate, too deep. All his suffer found its way out in this song. Sad but awesome.
This solo is a Jewel!
Getz como siempre, su melodía inigualable!

ty nils !!! you made my day man :D
fantastic.... !!!
Kids take a look at Chet. When he was young he looked as good as you can get. That's what smack can do.
That's what getting your teeth kicked out can do as well.
I’d say that he still looks good! Just older and a little lived.
that's very generous. he took a good black and white photo here and there but he always looked peculiar.
Magnifique !
I love to hear him sing!
What a great video.
Dos grandes músicos .
Thx for this post !!
Chet Baker - Trumpet, vocal
Stan Getz - Tenor Saxophone

how great saw stan getz and gilberta astra in ny on the east side many years ago what a talent chet baker was missed him
So true. I never heard him scat before. Very good ideas and taste he had.
Singing and swinging...Chet Baker was incredibly cool.
1st time I've ever liked a scat vocal. Took an all time great trumpeter to do it. Phrasing comes to him like flowing water.
i only had the pleasure to listen to Stan once,at Yoshi's,but it was worth every minute I listenecto this Jazz Titan!
Omg, fabulous.
