RIP Roy Haynes...

Jazz is all about the drums for me. He was one of the best, and great that he lived to the age of 99, unlike so many other jazz musicians.

Samuel Barber - "Agnus Dei"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LYnNEALm6o

a version of his famous "Adagio for Strings", which Barber used for his setting of the Catholic Mass in 1968.

You'll maybe think this is heretical, but my favourite recording of Barber's Adagio is the electronic version recorded by William Orbit from Pieces in a Modern Style -

Closely followed by Ferry Corsten's and DJ Tiesto's remixes from a few years later. Powerful, moving music.

Chet Baker - "Deep in a Dream" (1979), with Steve Houben on Alto Sax

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqth4YFpxug

I dim all the lights and I sink in my chair.
The smoke from my cigarette climbs through the air.
The walls of my room fade away in the blue,
And I'm deep in a dream of you.

The smoke builds a stairway for you to descend;
You come to my arms, may this bliss never end,
Awake or asleep, every memory I keep
When I'm deep in a dream of you.

Then from the ceiling, soft music comes stealing;
We glide in a lovers' refrain,
You're so appealing that I'm soon revealing
My love for you over again.

My cigarette burns me, I wake with a start;
My hand isn't hurt, but there's pain in my heart.
But we'll love anew just as we used to do
When I'm deep in a dream of you.

composed by Jimmy Van Heusen and Eddie DeLange (1938)

Ben Webster - "Old Folks" (1970)

Ben Webster - Tenor Sax
Teddy Wilson - Piano
Hugo Rasmussen - Bass
Ole Streenberg - Drums

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxGUnKV8b3Y

Playing for a bunch of students in Denmark, they had just learned of the death of friend and sax giant Johnny Hodges...

Notice how Webster clicks his fingers to slow the tempo down to a lament. Webster, incidentally, had bought Wilson his first piano, back in 1935.

Then the emotion overtook them...

Chet Baker - "There Will Never Be Another You", from the album Chet Baker Sings (1954)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xpcBx1Gm-c

There will be many other nights like this
And I'll be standing here with someone new
There will be other songs to sing
Another fall, another spring
But there will never be another you

There will be other lips that I may kiss
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do
Yes I may dream a million dreams
But how can they come true
If there will never ever be another you...

a deathless jazz standard, written by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon (1942)

Chet Baker - "Let's Get Lost", from the album Chet Baker Sings (1954)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVmbh93-a24

Let's get lost
Lost in each other's arms
Let's get lost
Let them send out alarms
And though they'll think us rather rude
Let's tell the world
We're in that crazy mood !

Let's defrost
In a romantic mist
Let's get crossed
Off everybody's list
To celebrate this night we found each other
Mmm, let's get lost

composed by Jimmy McHugh and Frank Loesser (1943)


Undoubtedly the greatest jazz-documentary of all time, Bruce Weber's Oscar-nominated film of the same name "Let's Get Lost" traces Baker's chaotic life - interviewing wives, children, colleagues, and Baker himself - from his starry beginnings as the "James Dean of Jazz" through his drug-related problems, decline, and final months, while always remaining the consummate musician.

Chet Baker died suddenly and incomprehensibly, before the film was released, in 1988, requiring a poignant final re-edit...
