Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker, Jr. (December 23, 1929 – May 13, 1988) was an American jazz trumpeter, flugelhorn player and singer. Baker established a large following, based in part on his talent, his "matinee idol beauty, emotionally remote performances, and well publicized drug habit."[2] He died in 1988 after falling from a second-story window of a hotel in Amsterdam, Netherlands
I'm a rather new fan of Chet Baker. It just I ignore this guy in the past or not really giving much attention to him. But from day one I heard him played, I got hooked to his serene type of playing and how he romance that trumpet. Great!
