50 great moments in jazz: Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan’s pianoless quartet
Jan 29, 2010 Uncategorized
The charismatic prince of cool jazz developed an elegant and intertwining sound after being forced to perform without a piano When Bruce Weber released Let’s Get Lost in 1988, his documentary on the trumpeter Chet Baker, it joined the likes of Bertrand Tavernier’s Round Midnight and Clint Eastwood’s Bird in a group of late-1980s films that showed prominent jazz artists on the skids. A huge improvement from the years in which jazz movies were considered a joke, these documentaries also indicated how deeply attached writers and film-makers of a certain generation were to the tempting symmetry of saxophones, syringes, and stumbling idols kept upright only by music and devoted admirers. Chet Baker was a “doomed youth” who might have been made for Hollywood’s idea of jazz.

Last week was all about remembering famous people from the past. Now we want put your memory to the test again Last week you really could feel the strain as RRers scoured for songs that were really, truly, actually on topic. That you pulled it off is a tribute to your knowledge, your fortitude and your willingness to ignore my instructions completely if it meant getting another nom in (I don’t do emoticons, but imagine a cheeky-faced one here).

In recent times, Algeria has been uncharted territory for touring acts. But my punk band were lucky enough to be the first foreign group to play there in years More than 1,000 people are crammed into an old concrete theatre in downtown Algiers, musty with the smell of homegrown jazz. It’s been a long time since a foreign rock band has performed here and, when we hit the stage, the quiet sense of anticipation explodes into fierce moshing
