Chet Baker - Live at Ronnie Scott's (1986) ReviewThe production quality of this obscure taping of a jazz legend's performance is remarkable. Even the interview of Chet is well-done. Several observations: The audience obviously came to hear these "marquee" performers and not Chet. Notice the applause levels. I imagine most of them had no idea who Chet Baker. But for a thirty-plus-year fan of Chet Baker this video was certainly a bargain. What a unique and wonderful musician. He is certainly on par with Armstrong, Gillespie and Davis.Chet Baker - Live at Ronnie Scott's (1986) OverviewChet Baker's performance here is both fragile and passionate. Baker is joined by Van Morrison and reunited with Elvis Costello, with whom herecorded Shipbuilding at Ronnie Scott's intimate English club.Ininterviews with Costello, the pain and happiness hidden between his wrinkled,tired face pour out like so many notes.Chet recalls winning a spot with CharlieParker's band at the tender age of 22, but humbles himself by confessing to alifelong addiction to drugs.But through it all, it seems one constant remained inhis life, which always brought him back from the abyss and made his triumphsever so much sweeter--the cool, sweaty, dark, and ethereal sounds of that WestCoast "cool school" of jazz.58 minutes.1.
