Chet Baker Knihy
Chet Baker bol americký jazzový trumpetista, krídlovkárs a spevák, ktorý sa v 50. rokoch preslávil ako popredný predstaviteľ cool jazzu. Jeho hudba sa vyznačovala uvoľneným, až melancholickým tónom a jeho pôvabný zjav a intímny spev si získali pozornosť aj v populárnej hudbe. Bakerova kariéra však bola poznamenaná drogovou závislosťou, ktorá viedla k jeho uväzneniu v 60. rokoch. Jeho jedinečný štýl a naliehavé podanie zanechali nezmazateľnú stopu v jazzovej hudbe.
