Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you?



I could say much from my own thoughts, but if you give a damn about this subject, I would like to hear of your own thoughts and listening history on the music of Chet Baker.

Please no cliche', "he is no Miles Davis" non-self thought.

And no need to apoligize for being black or white...another Jazz cliche'.

Vocals are a morph of Michael Franks and Mel Torme. Liked his trumpet playing with Gerry Mulligan on occasion.
Well you are missing out. Chet has a beautiful tone that I like very much. He reminds me of Art Pepper another great tone player, but on saxophone instead. Yes he was in San Quentin big deal, his playing is fabulous drugs and all.
Try as I might, I've come to truly hate his work, and his reputation as person doesn't help. A pretty boy record company promotion without any real talent. The only thing flatter than his trumpet, was his voice. Truly awful! Still I would like to see the movie "Let's Get Lost", but have not been able to get a copy. If anyone would care to share as how to get a copy, I'd appreciate it.
