As
Though I Had Wings - The Lost Memoir
Chet Baker
St. Martin's Press (1997) |
While
some readers may be disappointed by the lack of
layered passion one hears in Baker's voice or in
the smooth and solid sound of his horn, there is
still considerable value in reading his own account
of his story. |

Young
Chet
Photographed by William Claxton
te Neues Publishing (1998) |
Beautiful
photographs covering Chet's earlier success and
career. A good way to romanticize Baker's fame and
charm through Claxon's inflated lenses. |

Chet
Baker: His Life and Music
J. De Valk
Berkeley Hills Books (2000) |
Not
the most unbiased view of Chet, but a rather well-researched
account on De Valk's behalf to bring out the well-balanced
Chet. If you're a fan of Chet's singing, this book
may disappoint you because of its lack thereof. |
