Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker, Jr. (December 23, 1929 – May 13, 1988) was an A… Read Full Bio ↴Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker, Jr. (December 23, 1929 – May 13, 1988) was an American jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist and vocalist.
Baker earned much attention and critical praise through the 1950s, particularly for albums featuring his vocals (Chet Baker Sings, It Could Happen to You). Jazz historian David Gelly described the promise of Baker's early career as "James Dean, Sinatra, and Bix, rolled into one." His well-publicized drug habit also drove his notoriety and fame, Baker was in and out of jail frequently before enjoying a career resurgence in the late 1970s and '80s.
Baker was born and raised in a musical household in Yale, Oklahoma; his father, Chesney Baker, Sr., was a professional guitar player, and his mother, Vera (née Moser) was a talented pianist who worked in a perfume factory. His maternal grandmother, Randi Moser, was Norwegian. Baker began his musical career singing in a church choir. His father introduced him to brass instruments with a trombone, which was replaced with a trumpet when the trombone proved too large.
Baker received some musical education at Glendale Junior High School, but left school at age 16 in 1946 to join the United States Army. He was posted to Berlin, where he joined the 298th Army band. After leaving the army in 1948, he studied theory and harmony at El Camino College in Los Angeles. He dropped out in his second year, however, re-enlisting in the army in 1950. Baker became a member of the Sixth Army Band at the Presidio in San Francisco, but was soon spending time in San Francisco jazz clubs such as Bop City and the Black Hawk. Baker once again obtained a discharge from the army to pursue a career as a professional musician.
Baker's earliest notable professional gigs were with saxophonist Vido Musso's band, and also with tenor saxophonist Stan Getz, though he earned much more renown in 1952 when he was chosen by Charlie Parker to play with him for a series of West Coast engagements.
In 1952, Baker joined the Gerry Mulligan Quartet, which was an instant phenomenon. Several things made the Mulligan/Baker group special, the most prominent being the interplay between Mulligan's baritone sax and Baker's trumpet. Rather than playing identical melody lines in unison like bebop giants Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, the two would complement each other's playing with contrapuntal touches, and it often seemed as if they had telepathy in anticipating what the other was going to play next. The Quartet's version of "My Funny Valentine", featuring a Baker solo, was a hit, and became a tune with which Baker was intimately associated.
The Quartet found success quickly, but lasted less than a year because of Mulligan's arrest and imprisonment on drug charges. Baker formed his own quartet with pianist and composer Russ Freeman in 1953, along with bassists Carson Smith, Joe Mondragon, and Jimmy Bond and drummers Shelly Manne, Larry Bunker, and Bob Neel. The Chet Baker Quartet found success with their live sets, and they released a number of popular albums between 1953 and 1956. In 1953 and 1954, Baker won the Down Beat and Metronome magazines' Readers Jazz Polls, beating the era's two top trumpeters, Miles Davis and Clifford Brown. Down Beat readers also voted Baker as the top jazz vocalist in 1954. In 1956, Pacific Jazz released Chet Baker Sings, a record that increased his profile but alienated traditional jazz fans; he would continue to sing throughout his career.
Due to Baker's chiseled features, he was approached by Hollywood studios, and he made his acting debut in the film Hell's Horizon, released in the fall of 1955. He declined an offer of a studio contract, preferring life on the road as a musician. Over the next few years, Baker fronted his own combos, including a 1955 quintet featuring Francy Boland, where Baker combined playing trumpet and singing. In 1956 Chet Baker completed an eight month tour of Europe, where he recorded Chet Baker In Europe.
He became an icon of the West Coast "cool school" of jazz, helped by his good looks and singing talent. Baker's 1956 recording, released for the first time in its entirety in 1989 as The Route, with Art Pepper, helped further the West Coast jazz sound and became a staple of cool jazz.
Baker began using heroin in the 1950s, resulting in an addiction that lasted the remainder of his life. At times, Baker pawned his instruments for money to maintain his drug habit. In the early 1960s, he served more than a year in prison in Italy on drug charges; he was later expelled from both West Germany and the United Kingdom for drug-related offenses. Baker was eventually deported from West Germany to the United States after running afoul of the law there a second time. He settled in Milpitas in northern California, where he played in San Jose and San Francisco between short jail terms served for prescription fraud.
In 1968, Baker was savagely beaten (allegedly while attempting to buy drugs) after a gig in The Trident restaurant in Sausalito, California sustaining severe cuts on the lips and broken front teeth, which ruined his embouchure. He stated in the film Let's Get Lost that an acquaintance attempted to rob him one night but backed off, only to return the next night with a group of several men who chased him. He entered a car and became surrounded. Instead of rescuing him, the people inside the car pushed him back out onto the street, where the chase by his attackers continued, and subsequently he was beaten to the point that his teeth, never in good condition to begin with, were knocked out, leaving him without the ability to play his horn. He took odd jobs, among them pumping gas. Meanwhile he was fitted for dentures and worked on his embouchure. Three months later he got a gig in New York City.
Between 1966 and 1974, Baker mostly played flugelhorn and recorded music that could mostly be classified as West Coast jazz.
After developing a new embouchure resulting from dentures, Baker returned to the straight-ahead jazz that began his career. He relocated to New York City and began performing and recording again, including with guitarist Jim Hall. Later in the 1970s, Baker returned to Europe, where he was assisted by his friend Diane Vavra, who took care of his personal needs and otherwise helped him during his recording and performance dates.
From 1978 until his death in 1988, Baker resided and played almost exclusively in Europe, returning to the USA roughly once a year for a few performances. This was Baker's most prolific era as a recording artist. However, as his extensive output is strewn across numerous, mostly small European labels, none of these recordings ever reached a wider audience, even though many of them were well received by critics, who maintain that the period was one of Baker's most mature and rewarding. Of particular importance are Baker's quartet featuring the pianist Phil Markowitz (1978–80) and his trio with guitarist Philip Catherine and bassist Jean-Louis Rassinfosse (1983–85).[citation needed] He also toured with saxophonist Stan Getz during this period.
In 1983, British singer Elvis Costello, a longtime fan of Baker, hired the trumpeter to play a solo on his song "Shipbuilding", from the album Punch the Clock. The song exposed Baker's music to a new audience. Later, Baker often featured Costello's song "Almost Blue" (inspired by Baker's version of "The Thrill Has Gone") in his concert sets, and recorded the song for Let's Get Lost, a documentary film about his life.
The video material recorded by Japanese television during Baker's 1987 tour in Japan showed a man whose face looked much older than he was, but his trumpet playing was alert, lively and inspired. Baker recorded the live album Chet Baker in Tokyo with his quartet featuring pianist Harold Danko, bassist Hein van de Geyn and drummer John Engels less than a year before his death, and it was released posthumously. Silent Night, a recording of Christmas music, was recorded with Christopher Mason in New Orleans in 1986 and released in 1987.
Baker's compositions included "Chetty's Lullaby", "Freeway", "Early Morning Mood", "Two a Day", "So Che Ti Perderò" ("I Know I Will Lose You"), "Il Mio Domani" ("My Tomorrow"), "Motivo Su Raggio Di Luna" ("Tune on a Moon Beam"), "The Route", "Skidadidlin'", "New Morning Blues", "Blue Gilles", "Dessert", and "Anticipated Blues".
At about 3:10 am on May 13, 1988, Baker was found dead on the Prins Hendrikkade, near the Zeedijk, the street below his second-story room of Hotel Prins Hendrik in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with serious wounds to his head. Heroin and cocaine were found in his hotel room, and an autopsy also found these drugs in his body. There was no evidence of a struggle, and the death was ruled an accident. A plaque outside the hotel memorializes him and the room he was staying in, No. 210, is named "The Chet Baker Room".
Baker is buried at the Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California.

Chet Baker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you
I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love
Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love
Feeling like someone in love
In love
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you
I'm limp as a glove
Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love
Feeling like someone in love
In love
"Like Someone In Love" is a sweet song performed by the jazz icon Chet Baker. The lyrics of the song are about the feeling of falling in love, and how it makes a person behave in a slightly foolish manner. The song describes the singer's behavior when he is around the person he loves. He says that he finds himself staring at the stars and hearing guitars, as though he is in a dream. The singer also admits that he is sometimes amazed by the things he does when his love is near. This implies that love has the power to make a person do things that they never thought they were capable of.
Baker goes on to describe how he feels when he looks at his lover. He says that each time he sees the person, he becomes weak and limp like a glove. This indicates that his love for this person is all-encompassing and that they have a powerful effect on him. The song ends with Baker stating that he feels like someone in love. This simple phrase encapsulates the singer's feelings about his love, which are profound but straightforward.
Line by Line Meaning
Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars
Recently, I have been spending time outside looking up at the stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
When I hear guitars, I feel as though I am in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Occasionally, my actions surprise me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Mostly, this happens when you are near me
Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings
Recently, I have been walking as if I am weightless
Bump into things like someone in love
I sometimes collide with objects, as if I am distracted by love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
Whenever I gaze upon you, I become weak and powerless
And feeling like someone in love
I have a profound feeling of being in love with you

Lyrics:
I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last
My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I've been fooled in the past
But still I fall in love so easily
I fall in love too fast
My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I've been fooled in the past
But still I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
@erinmontoya1128
I fell for a girl named Mia. Short hair, radiant smile, and an unusual sense of pure optimism. Took me two weeks to fall way too hard way too fast. We would talk every day for hours on end. It was the only time I've ever been that vulnerable and open with someone.
Went on two dates, the second being the last. We just stopped talking after that and for a long time the question "What did I do wrong?" kept permeating the back of my mind. It was the first time I actually cried myself to sleep.
A year has gone by and we met again briefly. She just apologized saying she wasn't in the right state of mind at the time. I smiled and did the polite thing and said "it's okay" then left. You know you've got it bad when you're looking at them and they're looking forward, just not at you.
I know I'll get over it eventually and I'll probably fall again. But for know I just feel like shit, just wish it wasn't so slow for the pain to fade away.
(Update):
Omg thanks for all the likes, didn't expect my story to resonate with so many. Lol I still remember when the comment section was just like a virtual bar of us sharing our sob stories. For y'all wondering, I'm in a much better place now than when I last wrote the comment. I have no resentments nor regrets for what happened. She didn't owe me anything and I think it was for the best that we stayed apart. I learned what it's like to truly be alone and realized that it's actually pretty nice. So for those who like my story and who are going through it rn I just want to let you know that it's okay to feel sad when it doesn't turn out the way you want to.
Healing won't be linear, there'll be days where you'll be fine and days where all that pain will come again. But ultimately, it'll shape you into a much more iridescent person of you allow yourself to. And you'll be fine enough to take a chance on not only yourself but in other people as well. It sounds corny, but that's what the truth usually is in my experience. Hope y'all have a good one 👍

I am Also in love with my best friend forever. No one else understands me like he does but I don't know If he likes me back.
I told him I liked him once accidentally, I was drunk but it was all cool , I cried cause he said he wasn't interested at the time but since then we're so close now that he only talks to a few people.
I was planning on telling him when I'd see him in a few weeks but I'm too scared too ,I know we might be able to salvage our friendship like before but this time I genuinely love him , not just because he's good looking or whatever like the first time I liked him.
I told him a bunch of stuff that happened which I never told to anyone because I was scared to , and he Is the only one who makes me feel better .
I really don't know what to do but I wish you the best of luck homie 🧡 I hope it turns out good for you in the end :3

The remark came from my left.
I glanced at the man - a new face. He was sporting a black three-piece. His akubra hat obscured most of his face, only showing a crooked smirk and a three-day beard. Got a pretty keen eye for him to read my notepad. Or maybe he's ust a very, very curious man.
" Who are you, the spanish inquisiton? " I asked.
His smirk grew wider.
" Nobody, " he drawled, while nursing his martini. " Just a random... Fan, if you will. Of him. " He pointed at the singer onstage.
A grin grew on my face. " Nice taste."
I extended my hand. " You can call me Id." He grabbed and shaked my hand, his grin now almost touching his ears. " Call me Just. "
@hotandsillycinnamonrollget6697
I still remember her smile man. She was smart, cute, and sweet. We had been talking and seeing each other on and off for the past 5 months. She always said she wanted to be just friends. We got pretty close, she would share her deepest emotions with me and I would tell her that I had feelings for her. She would tell me I was handsome and that I was the most intellegent and sweetest guy she ever met.
I should of cut it off from the begining. I fell in love with her. The thought of her got me through the day. It turns out she had been seeing some guy from tinder the past 2 months and I completly broke down. I couldn't eat or sleep for a whole day. I cried for the first time since my grandfather died. It felt like I was stabbed over and over again.
We got into a massive fight. A few days later I mustered the courage to do the right thing. I said I was sorry and I wished that she would genuianly find happieness one day (she's not happy in her current relationship but dosen't want me) and tried to move on.
I still think about her sometimes. I have a hard time with understanding emotional feelings and connecting on a level like that. I just thought I finally found the right one.
We're gonna make it fellas ;_;

...To the one that got away
To the soulmate found while at your worst
To the lovers who fought after sleepless nights, so desperate to get it right together...
May time heal your heart fully,
And may you find new purpose on your way there.
Stay hopeful my friends.

This song sounds like my life. From a teenager, to adult I always fell quickly in love. It took me years to be able to take it slow and just let things happen. I matured and realized I had alot to offer and I shouldn't be so desperate to be loved. I At the age of 31 I did just that . Met the love of my life that lasted for 40 years until they passed in 2017. You find love when you're NOT looking for it !

I hope you had the best life, with the ONE, im 20 now and I think ill keep on falling in love for a while now. but I aspire to be like you. and people like you.

How do I stop falling in love so easily? How does one control his heart? I feel like I’m pretty much aware of everything, yet I can’t escape the cycle. I’m only a kid so puberty makes this near impossible.. however, I’ve never let that stop me

@@jazzcrusader3062 I'm a feeling person but for me it helped to look at everything from a realistic perspective whenever I started getting feelings plus I'm way to lazy for all the stress that I would cause.
