Summary: Hooked for life
Comment: His writing is like his music, you are either deeply touched by it or else throw it aside as shallow and unimportant.
But if you open yourself up to his clear style, let yourself be invaded by his soft and melodious phrasing, his superb timing ... you are hooked for life !

Summary: BUY CHET'S CDs, ANY OF THEM...
Comment: I bought this book when it came out. couldn't wait. read it, wanted to slit my wrist and shoved it away! Re-read the thing recently and my opinion hasn't changed. You'll be inclined to take up smoking (or start again!), or some other balm after this relentless 'downer.' I wish I had bought a CD of Chet's I don't already have instead. After all, the MUSIC IS THE MAN, and, my God! what music. Mr. Baker's unique ability -- from the depths of abuse, desperation and excess -- IS HIS BIOGRAPHY, his legacy, and his brilliance. Don't read, just listen, close your eyes, and be transported!

Summary: Not funny, valentine
Comment: It has always been a puzzle to me how an artist with the originality of Chet Baker, tries, and finally succeds, in destroying his talent and then himself;not necessarily in that order.
I just ordered Jeroen de Valk's book. I hope it gives me a more balanced perspective of Baker, who's music makes me smile and cry at the same time........
