Description

This first major biography of probably the most romanticized icon in jazz thrillingly recounts his wild ride. From his emergence within the 1950s–when an uncannily stunning young man from Oklahoma gave the impression at the West Coast to turn out to be, reputedly overnight, the prince of “cool” jazz–till his violent, drug-related death in Amsterdam in 1988, Chet Baker lived a life that has turn out to be an American myth. Here, drawing on masses of interviews and prior to now untapped sources, James Gavin gives a hair-raising account of the trumpeter’s dark journey.
