 Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2020 5:20 pm Post subject: Chet Baker's Horns |
 |
|
I'm interested in finding out more about the various Horns Chet Baker used. I know that he used the Martin Committee and Bach. From reading a bit about him, I know that during some parts of his career he was hornless and would use horns at gigs borrowed from other musicians or admirers in whatever city he happened to be playing a gig in. I'm particularly curious about some of the older scuffed up and battered horns he used as seen in video's made in Italy, and other parts of Europe.

Thank you. I didn't know he ever used a Getzen. One of the horns I was trying to identify was one I saw on a youtube video of Chet playing with guitar player Phillip Catherine and Jean Louis Rassenfosse. The top of the valve caps are recessed and could be a Selmer Paris or Antoine Courtois. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPIjg-KiuBc
