Synopsis
Innovating the genre of cool jazz, Chet Baker was nicknamed the “Prince of Cool”. He was a legendary trumpet player, but also a very gifted jazz singer, which he showcases in these early studio recordings. “My Funny Valentine“ became his signature song and he had a bright future ahead, if he hadn’t been suffering from drug addiction since the 1950’s.
