Chet Baker: I think my style of trumpet playing is coming back a little. After all, how fast can you play? It's much more musical and certainly more — in my way of thinking anyway — difficult to play in a style where you play less notes and leave more open spaces and choose the notes you play very carefully. Playing a beautiful ballad is very difficult. Some of the bop tunes are very complicated, and if you try to play them at bright tempos, you triple the difficulty, and you get to the point where it's so difficult that it's no fun anymore — just a lot of hard work. And most people listening can't follow you anyway. Milan, September 1959. In the photo: the trumpeter and singer Chet Baker and his band during a concert at the Santa Tecla club.
