Chet Baker Live in '64 and '79
Here are 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 Baker'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. The songs include the Miles Davis classic, So What, and the jazz standard Time After Time (a very rare rendition featuring Baker's "Cool" vocal style). The soulful 1979 set from Norway, with a trio featuring vibraphonist Wolfgang Lackerschmid, highlights the growth and maturity of this inspiring artist. 71 Minutes.
