Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you?

I really do not care for Chet Baker's singing.
He is just too self absorbed and self indulgent for me to listen to him sing.
I hear him and feel he is singing to himself in a mirror.
His emotional displaay is very shallow with (in his own mind) "deep feeling". Probably tied to his drug addictions.

His playing is average.

And yeah, he is no Miles Davis.

Fabulous, as long as he isn't singing.

I knew I didn't like his singing but Elizabeth's comment is probably right on. He was a self-absorbed person, no doubt. His tone and attack elevate him way beyond average IMO.

Larry beat me to it. There's room in my life for anyone who can create that tone.
