Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Pianist Corner - Non Classical Chet Baker: you don't know what love is- help?

I come from a classical piano background with very little actual experience with jazz (played pop by ear and studied classical harmony, and occasionally played fully-notated scores of jazz standards), and I'm trying to learn Chet Baker's version of "You don't know what love is". None of the available sheet music or the covers on youtube give his version faithfully. Some chords are giving me a very hard time, but I know they're probably standard jazz harmonies that would be easier to figure out for a jazz-experienced ear.

In the version on youtube, I can't figure out the following:
1. the chord on "until" (you've loved a love) at 0:27
2. the chord on "don't" (you don't know) at 0:36 (sounds like G sharp minor 7, but with a missing element, then resolving to something I also can't make out before going to G half dim 7 (G, B flat, D flat, F) then C7 with 10-9 (sorry for the messed-up labeling)
2. the chord on "don't" (you don't know) at 1:13 (an augmented chord version of no.2?)
3. the bridge to "do you know how a lost heart fears" (the two chords from 1:18 to 1:21, leading to B flat minor 7 on 1:22). (I can only make out the movement F ("love is"), E flat, D, B to B flat in the bass (clearer at its repetition at 3:26 with trumpet)).
4. The coda from 4:32: D flat major 7, G flat major 7, (?), (?) (the same chord on D in no.3), F minor with E, G sharp, B (forgive me for not knowing the correct label- #7, #9, #11?)



Thank you so much for your help!

approximately

(btw, you have two #2s in your list)

1 Bb13b5 (notes are LH: Bb,Ab RH: C,E,G )
2 G#m9 to LH simple 5th interval on C# (i.e. C#, G#)
2 G7#5#9
3 D7#9, B7b5
4 (Dbma7, Gbma7) B7b5 D7#9

Please forgive me for this very late response! Thank you SO much for your wonderful help. It took me a while to get the right voicings, but I'm so excited to have these gaps filled!

The Bb13b5 chord comes elsewhere and I also had it wrong there (using D instead of C and E). Can this chord not have an F (a normal 5th) though and retain its quality? I'm thinking then of the E as a #11?

The G#m9 to C# movement makes perfect sense now, because it's followed by G to C (is this half-tone shift common)?

p.s. I really enjoyed some of your youtubes and will be listening to more! Great stuff.

F in the RH would sound a bit squashed against the b5 but you could do it. Adding D in the LH or RH would be much less daring. Quite possibly one (or even both) of those alternatives in the RH is what's being played on the track.
E notated as #11; yes with the 13 in there that would be a more fitting description than my b5.

Yes, very common.

- thanks for that...glad you got to fill the gaps!
