Love pretty much all his music, singing and playing. I even took singing lessons back in the days, learned the jazz classics and tried to sound like him. Bit less into him now that I have shacken off the existentialist blues of my 20s, have two kids, own a minivan, house in the suburbs and mortage, but still fond memories. Some favorites are: almost blue, my funny valentine, my foolish heart, sad walk, you don't know what love is. All priceless stuff.
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'.
