From his emergence in the 1950s--when an uncannily beautiful young man from Oklahoma appeared on the West Coast to become, seemingly overnight, the prince of \"cool\" jazz--until his violent, drug-related death in Amsterdam in 1988, Chet Baker lived a life that has become an American myth. Here, drawing on hundreds of interviews and previously untapped sources, James Gavin gives a hair-raising account of the trumpeter's dark journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A landmark in entertainment biography.\" -- Tony Gieske , Hollywood Reporter\u003cbr\u003e\"Definitive ... a haunting prose poem that's every bit as affecting as one of Baker's solos.\" -- Entertainment Weekly - \"A\" rating\u003cbr\u003e\"Superb ... unerring ... a stark, troubling portrait of both the artist and his times.\" -- Publisher's Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\"Splendid, fascinatingly thorough ... a book that remains a page-turner long after it's obvious what's coming next.\" -- K.
