Taking advantage of the chaos of the handover, New Orleans got rid of strict political constraints and became a unique "three-no-control" area. New Orleans has become a city of freedom. At even the most exaggerated time, there was no army or police!

Don’t have any doubts, “jazz is freedom.”

1763, after the end of the European dynasty war, France handed over the entire Louisiana to Spain. Taking advantage of the chaos of the handover, New Orleans got rid of strict political constraints and became a unique "three-no-control" area. New Orleans has become a city of freedom. At even the most exaggerated time, there was no army or police! Under such a political background, various cultures collided freely and integrated, and the colorful and charming were all enchanting, so Jazz came into being.

Because of the free atmosphere of New Orleans, many black people fled here from all over the country and enjoyed the identity of "free black people". They were no longer restricted in all aspects of social life, and incorporated the musical elements of jazz into New Orle's good music. The musicians began to blatantly modify the repertoire and recreate the music themselves. What's more, the changes in rhythm and improvisation are the characteristics of black music.

In short: "This kind of black music makes white people stunned and touch naked emotions and desires!" And a group of people inherited the soul of jazz , and used their extraordinary talents to create peerless legends.

Chat Baker

Chat Baker

Many friends come into contact with European and American jazz, and they started with Chet Baker. If you have experienced the era of verbal quiz, you will know that at that time, the most stocked by every record shop was Chat's records, and they were always rare - especially his vocal records.

In the 1950s, Chat Baker sat on the windowsill of Milan to practice trombone

Relying on his unforgettable musical talent, Chet Baker was the most popular trumpeter in the 1950s. With his handsome appearance, he always attracts the exclamation of female music fans wherever he goes. In 1952, he was with the bass saxophonist Mulligan and recorded Cool Jazz's famous performance "My Funny Valentine". With their interpretation, this old tune regained its creative vitality, and its implicit and simple temperament made Chet Baker become a hit immediately. His name is almost called by people like the worship of the little speaker master Bix Beiderbecke.

Chet Baker's singing is melancholy and romantic, just like the fragile heart of a young boy, deeply touching his music fans. In addition, many people who did not listen to jazz were also attracted by Baker's singing and began to listen to his works. Until he left, Baker kept playing and singing at the same time, leaving behind many classic moments in music, and the jazz territory became more open because of Baker.

In 1956, Pacific Jazz released an album called "Chet Baker Sings". This record with Chat Baker's voice became his masterpiece in his jazz career and attracted more attention. But at the same time, a large number of traditional jazz enthusiasts also left him because of this. However, Chat Baker never gave up singing.

Whether at the age of 22 or 57, no matter whether the two front teeth are intact or not, no matter how many wrinkles are added to the corners of the eyes, Chat Baker has not changed much in the eyes of Weber . His musical personality is always so fascinating. Perhaps we should create a brand new word for Chat Baker, a word that is deeper than beauty and eternity.

And I'll move the mountains

If he wants them out of the way

Crazy he calls me

Sure, I'm crazy

Crazy in love, I say

I say I want to move this mountain, I will move this mountain, if he wants the mountain to be moved.

You are so crazy, he said to me.

I'm a fool to hold you

Such a fool to hold you

To seek a kiss not mine alone

To share a kiss that devil has known

I'm a fool to hold you

Southern trees bear strange fruit,

Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,

Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,

Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Southern trees bear strange fruits,

Blood on leaves, blood in the roots,

Black corpse sways in the wind in the south

Supern fruit hangs on poplar trees

When you fall in love, you will become stupid, sobbing sadly when you are lonely, and you will become fragile and fragile when you are betrayed... This is Billie Holiday.
