...Chet Baker. I don't know much about jazz, and virtually nothing about Baker, but the movie pulled me in almost immediately. The world kind of dropped away when he started to play, and he was irresistibly photogenic too. No wonder so many women were seduced by him Baker gets plenty of camera time to share his story, but I am more inclined to...
