Time After Time (1964)

Another classic, probably one of my favorite versions of this old song. This is a very rare footage of Chet Baker, all gap-toothed and reminiscent, singing to a piano accompaniment before playing the trumpet. It’s included in the DVD, Jazz Icons: Chet Baker which features two concerts filmed fifteen years apart in Europe. The video you’ll see is recorded at a Belgian TV studio in 1964. Chet is accompanied by his long-time sidemen saxophonist Jacques Pelzer and a French pianist, Rene Urtreger.
