Chet Baker: His Life and Music - Valk, J.De

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; He was a star at 23 years old, winner of the Critics as well as Readers Poll in Down Beat. But much of his later life was shadowed by his drug use and problems with the law. This book gives a full account of the famous trumpeter - famous as much for his tragic life as his beautiful music. The author has interviewed dozens of Baker's friends and colleagues, his wife, Carol Baker, as well as the investigating team that made the initial report on Chet's strange death. The text in enhanced by many photographs of Chet, his friends, and colleagues. There is a select, as well as a complete, discography.
