John Claridge's best photograph: Chet Baker
lost in memory
‘I used to live above Ronnie Scott’s.
Chet Baker played beautifully,
considering he’d lost his teeth in the
gutter’

Chesney Henry "Chet" Baker Jr. 1929-1988
As much
as any musician
of
his generation,
Baker epitomized
a romantic
coolness
whose mystique
involved
an
alluring strain
of danger.
Handsome
and talented
but
imperiously
self-destructive,
the man
who has been called
''the James Dean of jazz''
was a connoisseur
of fast
cars,
women and drugs.
Addicted to heroin
for most
of his adult life,
he died (...) at 58
after a
fall
from a hotel window
in Amsterdam.
