Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you?



I could say much from my own thoughts, but if you give a damn about this subject, I would like to hear of your own thoughts and listening history on the music of Chet Baker.

Please no cliche', "he is no Miles Davis" non-self thought.

And no need to apoligize for being black or white...another Jazz cliche'.

Phaelon,
I can(and have) listen to Chet`s trumpet for long listening sessions and enjoy every momment,such tone and expression.
Regards,
"if he could play like Miles Davis.....”

Understood Tpreaves, Miles Davis is almost unanimously celebrated as the best. But I still don’t want Chet to play like Miles, I have Miles for that. I want Chet to play like Chet for the same reason I want a hot dog to taste like a hot dog and not prime rib. Sometimes I have a taste for a hot dog. :)
Tpreaves, Got it now. Just fought my way home through heavy snowfall in Chicago. My sense of humor wasn’t at its keenest.
