Its a lot about the music but overflowing with the drugs and crazy behavior. I was curious because of the movie; but the movie is soft compared to the book. The man was a mess and I couldnt find many good things about him. I did; however; buy a cd of Mr. Baker singing. I love his voice on those songs.8 of 10 people found the following review helpful. The Chet Baker Study...By Jorge BarbarosaA tortured soul; living a hell in a wasteland; howling and desolate; junked up; paranoid; insecure; with the one goal most if not every junky ascribes to...getting the next dose. Did you ever wonder what makes people like the Baker or the Charley Parker ; Kurt Cobain or Bix Beiderbeck reach down to the bottom when they have so much to offer. Jaco Pastorius too and Jerry Garcia could have also been lumped into this terrible category. Yet; we as humans are fascinated by this lifestyle and glamorize the "stars" and talents. But do those same people find their life glamorous? Or; are a few of those stars and talents incomplete; seeking; never satisfied; bored; living on some sort of edge which leads them into a self destructive lifestyle. Ive read a number of books about musicians who have self-destructed; perhaps I hold a perverse fascination with the phenomena and I cant explain why. As a musician for over 40 years I have always admired the musicianship of the greats like Beiderbeck or Getz or Baker or Pepper; Pastorius and many more; but could never understand the penchant for killing themselves through extreme substance abuse. What were they missing in life; which left them so unfulfilled?0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy Simone Gadim obsessively reading the book.
