About the author
Chet Baker
47 books12 followersChesney Henry "Chet" Baker Jr. was an American jazz trumpeter, flugelhorn player and singer.
Specializing in relaxed, even melancholy music, Baker rose to prominence as a leading name in cool jazz in the 1950s. Baker's good looks and smoldering, intimate singing voice established him as a promising name in pop music as well. But his success was badly hampered by drug addiction, particularly in the 1960s, when he was imprisoned.
He died in 1988 after falling from a hotel window.

Interesting little book no pictures in this hardcover a mini memoir if you will. One doesn't learn much about The Man and what we do learn is sad for such talent.
