I saw the whole video, I think it was a DVD that combined this old concert and a newer one from 1987.

I love Chet, and my wife loves Chet too. We have a love song by Chet!

Listening to now:

Love this record, but the real spoiler is the one for her:

 

Thank you Chet!

Mike Alterman, a pianist that I worked with for five years in a band, spent eight months on the road with Chet Baker in the early 60s, and was so traumatized by the experience that he never said a word about it in all the time I knew him.  I'd meet Mike occasionally after the time we worked together in that band, and he'd talk about the time he spent in the Woody Herman Band (he can be heard on the WH album "East Meets West" playing a long solo on a blues), the time he was fired by our current prez for asking for a raise in his solo piano gig in Trump Towers (Trump heard him playing some show tunes and said to Mike, "I like that!", so he figured it was a good time to ask DT for a raise- wrong), but he went to the grave a few years ago without saying a word about his eight months with Chet on the road, at least to me.

RIP, Mike.
