Thank-you for that Michael!
When Pierre originally mentioned 'Le Chet Baker' I did ask him if it was jazz music and said that I loved jazz stuff but I didnt know of Baker(though the name did ring a bell)--
Then yesterday I saw the TV ad showing picture of a 'young' man with long dark hair in what looked like a tuxedo--and as it was a classic FM ad I immediately thought 'classsical'music (as in the Mozart sense!)
Thanks for putting the website here--seems the man although extremely talented -had a nightmare personal life--which was often the way in those times I suppose--2 of my icons 'Billy Holiday'& and saxophonist 'Lester Young' had same problems!
