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.
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'.
