Jazz Icons: Chet Baker presents two captivating live performances, filmed 15 years apart, showcasing the evolution of one of cool jazz’s most iconic figures. The 1964 Belgian TV studio concert features a haunting performance with Jacques Pelzer and René Urtreger, including a rare vocal take on “Time After Time” and a brisk rendition of “So What.” In contrast, the 1979 Norwegian set finds a visibly weathered but musically matured Baker in a soulful trio with vibraphonist Wolfgang Lackerschmid, performing adventurous takes on “Blue Train” and “Love for Sale.” A remarkable portrait of a jazz legend across time.
