You Tube <\/em>may have removed<\/a> all of its Chet Baker videos, but it turns out that there is still Baker to be seen and heard on the web. Two days late, we are able to link you, after all, to a Japanese site that has Chet singing and playing <\/a>“My Funny Valentine” in a superior performance from late in his career.
