As I am sitting here staring at this monitor AND being taken to a haunting world of Chet Baker's rhythm, one can only wonder how badly damaged he was. Credits to those life-threatening consumption he had indulged himself into, he became a living witness of the extent how drugs can ruin your being. Such a maestro, such a master, such an inseparable part of jazz himself, fortunately his creation and works remains a collection of masterpieces.
Listening to him it's like giving yourself an ear to hear your deepest soul.
