The Last great concert: my favourite songs 1 & 2

Just to add it was recorded on April 28th, 1988 at the Funkhaus Hannover, West Germany. Chet Baker died in Amsterdam two weeks after this concert.

Love this album. The first time I saw the cover, many years back, I thought, this cat looks terrible. I had never heard of Chet before. I was pleasantly surprised to hear some really beautiful musical moments and tasteful playing. A lot of people said Chet was washed up but this album proved he still had it. This is the album that made me a Chet fan for life.


Live in Tokyo is also a great album. One of my all time favorites.


Also check out Tom Harrell's tribute and Carl Saunders' tribute albums to Chet. Great stuff!

I think its a bach 37 with a 7c mouthpiece.

Maybe the best concert ever?

Noteworthy is that he is using an elwctrovoice RE20 pointing down at the edge of his bell at a 45 degree angle and about 8 inches or less away. That is BIG part of chets recorded sound.

Same setup he used in the sessions for the bruce webber film.

Live in tokyo is good too but is not quite 100 percent for the whole concert like he is on the last concert. The encore with just chet and piano is out of this world.

He got that sound on every horn you know. He also sounded great on the 38b on the CTI label

Had a great sound on the old buescher too.

In the movie there is a scene where he warms up on a rooftop and he sounds awesome doing long tones.

Yea, that rooftop scene of Chet playing overlooking the ocean is awesome. There's another scene in the Weber film that clearly shows a Bach 5C mouthpiece in Chet's horn.
Update: looked at the film again and looks more like a 6C. Hard to tell because of the shadow. The closeup of the mouthpiece is at 1:00:06 of the film.

Wasn't the Bach 10 1/2 CW similar to the mouthpiece Clifford Brown played? There's a story about Clifford Brown lending Chet his mouthpiece way back in the day.

Chet went out of his way to rave about Clifford Brown in an interview I read.

According to Ruth Young who dated Chet for 10 years from around 1973 to 1982, the Constellation 38B was his all time favorite trumpet. I've had some long conversations with Ruth, 5 hours once on the phone. She still has Chet's hand written transcript for, "As Though I had Wings" and a couple of his mutes.




Hmmmmmm. Isn't that what Tom Harrell uses ?????
