No, not a candidate for our new manager, I spluttered in my beer when I read just now that Gen Z are extolling the virtues of Chet and there is an album coming out next week by latterday performers called Chet Baker Reimagined.
There is hope yet…

I like a bit of Chet Baker.
I went to this a few weeks ago over Highbury way.
Great stuff.

Can't say there were a whole load of youngsters though. I'm 54 and I think I might've been the youngest person at the gig!!

One of the bonuses of modern technology is the access to music the yoof have now. I'm not really a big Chet Baker fan, more into Chet Faker tbh, but my lad got into him a fews years ago, entirely independently.

Love him. I think he loved London too and Europe.
Beautiful voice and exquisite trumpet.

Glad all hope isn’t lost for these greats of music.

I did the production (manufacturing) of that Re:imagined album. Must give it a listen.

I think he fell to his death from the balcony of a Paris hotel. Nobody ever knew if it was an accident or something else.

massively talented artiste, but a troubled soul that struggled with his demons and drugs...

Currently, Guy Garvey on 6Music is playing That Old Feeling.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime."

He died in Amsterdam. He was a terrible junkie which is why he looked so haggard only 30 years after his pretty boy heyday. There's a documentary by Bruce Weber called "Let's Get Lost" which follows him around and chronicles his last year. Very depressing but worth a watch if it's still available.
