Mulligan's piano less quartet of the early 1950s with trumpeter Chet Baker is still regarded as one of the more important cool jazz groups.

Premi All'edizione 1988 dei premi Oscar, Perdiamoci fu candidato per la categoria miglior documentario. Rapporto 1,33 : 1 Genere documentario, musicale Regia Bruce Weber Produttore Emie Amemiya, Bruce Weber Produttore esecutivo Nan Bush Casa di produzione Little Bear Productions, Nan Bush Fotografia Jeff Preiss Montaggio Angelo Corrao Trucco Didier Malige Storyline Documentary on the life of jazz trumpeter and drug addict Chet Baker. Fascinating series of interviews with friends, family, associates and lovers, interspersed with film from Baker's earlier life and some modern-day performances. This documentary about jazz trumpeter-singer Chet Baker intercuts footage from the 1950s, when he was part of West Coast Cool, and from his last years. We see the young Baker, he of the beautiful face, in California and in Italy, where he appeared in at least one movie and at least one jail cell (for drug possession). And, we see the aged Baker, detached, indifferent, his face a ruin. Includes interviews with his children and ex-wife, women companions, and musicians. Trama Bruce Weber diede attenzione per la prima volta a Chet Baker quando in un negozio di dischi a Pittsburgh vide la fotografia del musicista sulla fronte del vinile LP del 1955 "Chet Baker Sings and Plays with Bud Shank, Russ Freeman and Strings", all'età di 9 anni.[1] Weber incontro Baker la prima volta nell'inverno del 1986 in un club di New York City, convincendolo a fare alcune foto, poi diventare un video di tre minuti. Weber era desideroso di girare un cortometraggio da una canzone di Oscar Levant intitolata "Blame It on My Youth". Dopo aver passato un po' di tempo insieme, Weber convinse Baker a girare un lungometraggio su di lui. Le riprese iniziarono nel gennaio 1987. Secondo Weber, intervistare Baker fu un'impresa come lui ricorda "A volte dovevamo fermarci per un motivo o per un altro, perché Chet era un drogato e non riusciva a fare due cose contemporaneamente, dovevamo ricominciare tutto da capo. Ma noi siamo cresciuti veramente come lui". Nel maggio 1987, quando Weber presentò il suo documentario Broken Noses al festival di Cannes, fece girare altre scene del film a Baker. Weber spese milioni di dollari di propria tasca per la realizzazione del film, girandolo e fermandolo nei momenti di maggiori entrate o uscite, da lui descritto come "un film molto ad hoc".[1] Il titolo del film deriva da un brano eseguito da Baker e registrato nell'album Chet Baker Sings and Plays, che fu anche l'album acquistato da Weber in quel negozio di dischi di Pittsburgh, quando aveva 9 anni.

[image=r3FobDvp4f] "If people could hear jazz often enough, in person and on records, perhaps more and more of them could begin to accept and understand it." That's the idea Ollie works from; with a three hour record show every night, where he can play just as much jazz as he wishes, and with concerts like the one he recorded, it is inevitable that more people will learn to enjoy music. (from the booklet) About this release: In addition to the Ann Arbor concert contained here in its entirety, this release also includes five bonus tracks recorded at The Tiffany Club in L.A. on August 10, 1954. The aforementioned tunes Line for Lyons and My Old Flame are added here as well as Baker's sole recordings of Hanley's Zing Went the Strings of My Heart, Charlie Parker's My Little Suede Shoes, and the debut recording of his celebrated hit Everything Happens to Me by Dennis & Adair! "I play every set as if it were the final one. It has been like this for years. I don't have too much time left, and it's important to show the musicians I'm playing with -more than anybody else- that I give everything I've got in me. And that I expect them to do the same.

Chet Baker - 1956 - Picture of Heath (1998) FLAC

[image=4OQfVPAvGd] The seven sides that make up the all-star outing Picture of Heath (1961) might be familiar to fans of co-leads Chet Baker (trumpet) or Art Pepper (alto saxophone), as Playboys (1956). Perhaps owing to trademark-related issues with the men's magazine of the same name, Picture of Heath became the moniker placed on the 1961 Pacific Jazz vinyl re-release, as well as the 1989 compact disc. Regardless of the designation on the label, the contents gather selections recorded on October 31, 1956 -- the third encounter between Baker and Pepper. Backing Baker and Pepper are the sizable quartet of Carl Perkins (piano) [note: not to be confused with the '50s and '60s rockabilly star], Larance Marable (drums), Curtis Counce (bass), and Phil Urso (tenor sax). Although Pepper supplied "Minor Yours" and "Tynan Time," the majority of the material can be traced to Heath Brothers trio member, Jimmy Heath (sax/flute), who was himself an acclaimed instrumentalist, composer, and arranger. The aggregate provide essential interpretations of his work, adding their own unique earmarks on to what is arguably the best and most playful interaction involving Baker and Pepper. Notable occurrences can be heard on "Picture of Heath" where Pepper sonically salutes Thelonious Monk, quoting recognizable passages from "Rhythm-A-Ning" on a number of occasions -- initially during a fierce exchange with Baker on the title track and then again prominently in the commencement of the aforementioned Pepper composition "Tynan Time." One of the more striking elements coalescing the partnership between the combo's soloists is the seemingly innate abilities that Baker and Pepper share as they propel themselves through the limber lines of "For Minors Only." The level of musicianship is evident as Counce, Perkins, and Marable effortlessly banter with youthful verve. Both the studied bop enthusiast and average jazz lover will find much to enjoy and revisit on Picture of Heath. (AllMusic, Lindsay Planer) Track list: 1. Picture of Heath 2. For Miles and Miles 3. C.T.A. 4. For Minors Only 5. Minor Yours 6. Resonant Emotions 7. Tynan Time Personnel: Art Pepper (Performer, Sax (Alto)) Carl Perkins (Piano) Chet Baker (Main Performer, Trumpet) Curtis Counce (Bass) Larance Marable (Drums) Phil Urso (Sax (Tenor)) Enjoy and share! I dedicate this to the beautiful people who still seed my torrents in the age of hit and run.

[image=4zmIPZwGv1] Eliane Elias - 2013 - I Thought About You (A Tribute To Chet Baker) 24 bit, 96 kHz HDTracks download Pianist and vocalist Eliane Elias pays tribute to legendary jazz trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker on her 2013 album I Thought About You. Featuring a selection of standards strongly associated with Baker, Elias mixes her native Brazilian bossa nova with swing, straight-ahead jazz, and even a few bluesy flourishes with much aplomb. The album, produced by Elias' husband, bassist Marc Johnson, also features guitarists Steve Cardenas and Oscar Castro-Neves, drummers Victor Lewis and Rafael Barata, and percussionist Marivaldo Dos Santos. Also adding more than a few moments of deft and thoughtful improvisation is trumpeter Randy Brecker. As Baker grew up listening to the music of the '30s and '40s, many of his own choices for songs to play were informed by the great songbook of those decades. Baker also had a natural inclination toward a pretty melody and romantic lyric and he never failed to pick great songs to perform. Subsequently, Baker's recordings showcase a superb batch of tunes to choose from. Elias, who has also leaned toward playing melodic, often romantic music, is a perfect conduit for reinterpreting Baker. Here she plays such songs as "There Will Never Be Another You," "Let's Get Lost," "Just Friends," "Embraceable You," and "I Get Along Without You Very Well." (AllMusic) Track list: 01 - I Thought About You 02 - There Will Never Be Another You 03 - This Can’t Be Love 04 - Embraceable You 05 - That Old Feeling 06 - Everything Depends On You 07 - I’ve Never Been In Love Before 08 - Let’s Get Lost 09 - You Don’t What Love Is 10 - Blue Room 11 - Just Friends 12 - Girl Talk 13 - Just In Time 14 - I Get Along Without You Very Well Enjoy and share!

[image=UwNDtKin96] Chet Baker - 1958 - Chet Baker In New York (2004) SACD 24 bits, 88.2 KHz Chet Baker's West Coast cool comes to the Big Apple on Chet Baker in New York. The project would be Baker's first -- in a four album deal -- with the Big Apple-based Riverside Records. The bicoastal artist incorporates his decidedly undernourished sound and laid-back phrasing into the styling of Al Haig (piano), Johnny Griffin (tenor sax), Paul Chambers (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums). The results are uniformly brilliant as Baker's cool-toned solos fly and bop with authority around the equally impressive supporting soloists. Conversely, the same cohesive unity continues on the introspective numbers that are more akin to Baker's California cool. Undoubtedly one of the charms of this collection is the distinct choice of material. Running the gamut from the relaxed and soothing "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" and equally serene "Blue Thoughts" at one end of the spectrum to the percolating and driving intensity of "Hotel 49" on the other. This track features each quintet member taking extended solos corralling together at the head and again at the coda for some intense bop interaction. Especially ferocious is Philly Joe Jones, who could easily be mistaken for Keith Moon, Ginger Baker, or even Gene Krupa with his cacophonous solo that never strays from the beat or loses its sense of swing. Perhaps the best meshing of styles can be heard on the Miles Davis composition "Solar." This "best-of" candidate refers to both Chambers' and Jones' concurrent involvement with Davis. The churning backbeat likewise propels the melody and ultimately the performers into reaching beyond their individual expertise and into an area of mutual brilliance. Chet Baker in New York is a highly recommended entry into Baker's catalog. It should also be noted that these same sides were issued in 1967 as Polka Dots and Moonbeams on the Jazzland label. (AllMusic) Track list: 01. Fair Weather 02. Polka Dots and Moonbeams 03. Hotel 49 04. Solar 05. Blue Thoughts 06. When Lights Are Low 07.

Featuring a selection of standards strongly associated with Baker, Elias mixes her native Brazilian bossa nova with swing, straight-ahead jazz, and even a few bluesy flourishes with much aplomb. Joining Elias are guitarists Steve Cardenas and Oscar Castro-Neves, bassist Marc Johnson, drummers Victor Lewis and Rafael Barata, and percussionist Marivaldo Dos Santos. Also adding more than a few moments of deft and thoughtful improvisation is Elias' husband, trumpeter Randy Brecker. As Baker grew up listening to the music of the '30s and '40s, many of his own choices for songs to play were informed by the great songbook of those decades. Baker also had a natural inclination toward a pretty melody and romantic lyric and he never failed to pick great songs to perform. Subsequently, Baker's recordings showcase a superb batch of tunes to pick from. Elias, who has also leaned toward playing melodic, often romantic music, is a perfect conduit for reinterpreting Baker's music. Here she plays such songs as "There Will Never Be Another You," "Let's Get Lost," "Just Friends," "Embraceable You," "I Get Along Without You Very Well." ~ allmusic reveiw

[image=qd5I7NWihr] Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker - 1996 - Complete Pacific Jazz Recordings 1952-1957 Baritonist Gerry Mulligan's pianoless quartet of 1952-1953 with trumpeter Chet Baker was one of the most popular groups of the period and an influential force on West Coast Jazz. Mulligan's interplay with Baker looked back toward the collective improvisation of Dixieland but utilized up-to-date harmonies. This four-CD set overlaps with a previous (and now out-of-print) five-LP Mosaic box. In addition to all of the Pacific Jazz (as opposed to Fantasy and GNP/Crescendo) recordings of the Mulligan Quartet (including the hit version of "My Funny Valentine"), this box has a few slightly earlier titles that find Mulligan gradually forming the group (even utilizing pianist Jimmie Rowles on two songs), tunes from live sessions in which altoist Lee Konitz made the band a quintet, the 1957 Mulligan-Baker set called Reunion, and an Annie Ross date from the same period (leaving out the numbers that have Art Farmer in Baker's place). Despite both musicians remaining active for over 30 years, Mulligan and Baker only teamed up again on one occasion, for a 1970s Carnegie Hall concert released by CTI. The consistently delightful music on this box (much of which is classic) is highly recommended for all jazz collections.

[image=C26J1yxdm8] Gerry Mulligan & Chet Baker - 1958 - Reunion (1988) The Gerry Mulligan Quartet of 1952-53 was one of the best-loved jazz groups of the decade and it made stars out of both the leader and trumpeter Chet Baker. Mulligan and Baker had very few reunions after 1953 but this particular CD from 1957 is an exception. Although not quite possessing the magic of the earlier group, the music is quite enjoyable and the interplay between the two horns is still special. With expert backup by bassist Henry Grimes and drummer Dave Bailey, these 13 selections (plus two new alternate takes) should please fans of both Mulligan and Baker. (AllMusic) Track list: 01 - Reunion 02 - When Your Lover Has Gone 03 - Stardust 04 - My Heart Belongs To Daddy 05 - Jersey Bounce 06 - The Surrey With The Fringe On Top 07 - Trav'lin Light 08 - Trav'lin Light (alternate take) 09 - Ornithology 10 - People Will Say We're In Love 11 - The Song Is You 12 - Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You 13 - Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You (alternate take) 14 - I Got Rhythm 15 - All the Things You Are Personnel: Chet Baker — trumpet Gerry Mulligan — baritone saxophone Henry Grimes - bass Dave Bailey - drums No .log file.
