Chet Baker, one of the most important #Jazz musicians of all time, was born #OTD in 1929 and is mostly associated with playing the trumpet
Though I'm usually into Heavy Metal, I have a kind of personal relationship to Chet and his music
I see some parallels to my own life (e.g. problems with alcohol and temporary loss of two teeth)
Also my anxiety disorder once was so bad that it was very hard for me to fall asleep at night. Then I always turned on "But not for me" (on constant replay and at a very low volume). It was just me lying in the dark, listening to Chet playing the trumpet somewhere in the distance and it made me feel safe. I will never forget this experience
He died in Amsterdam in 1988 and is buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery in California
