About this product
Product Information
Finally: the ultimate revised, updated and expanded edition Chet Baker was a star at 23 years old, winning the polls of America's leading magazines. But much of his later life was overshadowed by his drug use and problems with the law. 'Chet Baker / His life and music' was Baker's first biography, published a year after Baker's passing in 1988. It was available in five languages. Now finally, here is Jeroen de Valk's thoroughly updated and expanded edition. De Valk spoke to Baker himself, his friends and colleagues, the police inspector who investigated his death and many others. He read virtually every relevant word that was ever published about Chet and listened to every recording; issued or unissued. The result of all this is a book which clears up quite a few misunderstandings. For Chet was not the 'washed-up' musician as portrayed in the 'documentary' Let's Get Lost. His death was not th t mysterious. According to De Valk, Chet was first of all an incredible improviser; someone who could invent endless streams of melody., He delivered these melodies with a highly individual, mellow sound. He turned his heart inside out, almost to the point of embarrassing his listeners.'' Jazz Times: , A solidly researched biography... a believable portrait of Baker... a number of enlightening interviews...'' Library Journal: , De Valk's sympathetic yet gritty rendering of Baker's life blends well with his account of Baker's recording career.'' Cadence: , A classic of modern jazz biography. De Valk's writing is so straightforward as to be stark, yet this is just what makes it so rich." Jazzwise: , ... it's going to be definitive.'' Jeroen de Valk (1958) is a Dutch musician and journalist. He also authored an acclaimed biography about tenor saxophonist Ben Webster. www.jeroendevalk.nl

I was very happy, finally finding, this Large Print version for my mother, even though I thought $9.99 shipping was a bit excessive. My happiness continued until I opened the shipping container and found a receipt itemizign book and shipping which totaled $15.00 less than I paid. Your suggestion for me to ignore the receipt was not the solution I was looking for when I contacted you. Perhaps a better solution would have been to apologize and insure you would be more cautious for future sales.
