Jazz Icons: Chet Baker Live in '64 & '79
๐Ÿ“œ Overview: Chet Baker features two concerts by the foremost interpreter of the West Coast school of cool jazz. Filmed in Europe 15 years apart, these two shows seen together provide an overview of Bakerโ€™s illustrious career. The first show is a haunting 1964 performance in a Belgian TV studio with a quartet including long-time sidemen saxophonist Jacques Pelzer and French pianist Rene Urtreger. Songs include the Miles Davis classic, โ€œSo What,โ€ and the jazz standard โ€œTime After Timeโ€ (a very rare rendition featuring Chetโ€™s โ€œCoolโ€ vocal style.) The soulful1979 set from Norway, with a trio featuring vibraphonist Wolfgang Lackerschmid, highlights the growth and maturity of this troubled but inspiring artist.
