Trumpeter, flugelhornist, and vocalist Chesney Henry “Chet” Baker was born in Yale, Oklahoma on December 23, 1929. He first took interest in music as a singer in his church choir. His father introduced him to the trombone, but Chet downsized to the trumpet. After multiple stints in the army, Baker began his career as a professional musician. His mellow trumpet playing and beautiful voice quickly made him an icon of the ’50s cool jazz scene.
An equally talented trumpeter, flugelhornist, and vocalist, Baker released the excellent LP Chet Is Back! two years prior to this filming of this clip. This perfomance would later be featured on the album Brussels 1964, released in 1992.
Time after time I tell myself that I’m
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You’ve kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You’ll hear me say that I’m
So lucky to be loving you
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You’ve kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You’ll hear me say that I’m
So lucky to be loving you
