Love this sad song, I used to be able to relate, (I sang this song) now, I just love Chet, Russ on the piano, and the memories it brings!  Chet was in his prime in 1956 -- West Coast jazz style, just lovely, love their interpretation of "Lush Life."

Chet Baker is my favorite of all the white jazzmen. He has soul - white soul, but still soul. This is my favorite by him.

I was really enjoying this performance 'till I started reading the picky little comments. I'm going back and enjoy it again. Ha!

Johnny Hartman's version with Coltrane is vastly superior.

what a laborious piece of masterbation...............this tune is ALL about the lyrics , the story, not some heroin induced bullshit, anyone with training can play the song, it is a vocality that sets it apart

No improvisation here! The song is really a story, as well as an achingly beautiful tune; so unique. Perhaps nothing further need be done to it. Ballads are like that.

I love Chet, but this seems like a fairly bland rendition in comparison to Coltranes.

Written by Billy Strayhorn at age 16. Amazingly jaded lyrics for such a young man . For two fine vocals search for the version by Nat Cole and the one by Chris Connor. Chet Baker is by far my favorite trumpet man, man.

Jazz is a language all its own. While Race is a factor and an underlying current of this music at times, it evolves into a conduit of conveyance of dealing with the overall Human Condition. The African gave us the go-ahead to improvise. The European gave us the technical framework. And while the African may have the edge in the rhythmic area, it is the ultimate servant of the melody, which has no identity without it. It is a beautiful synthesis of our gifts.
