Chet Baker

    Chet Baker è stato un trombettista, suonatore di flicorno e cantante jazz americano, emerso negli anni '50 come figura di spicco del cool jazz. La sua musica era caratterizzata da un tono rilassato, persino malinconico, e il suo aspetto affascinante unito a una voce intima gli valsero l'attenzione anche nella musica pop. La carriera di Baker, tuttavia, fu gravemente ostacolata dalla dipendenza dalla droga, che lo portò in prigione negli anni '60. Il suo stile distintivo e la sua interpretazione sentita hanno lasciato un segno indelebile nella musica jazz.
