The Troubled Life and Musical Genius of Jazz Trumpet Icon Chet Baker.
The life and death of trumpet icon Chet Baker is very emblematic of the American jazz scene, particularly the 1950s West Coast 'cool jazz scene'. There was so much promise and possibility in the music.There was also too much heroin. A very apt comment about Baker is that in his early career he had the promise of James Dean, Frank Sinatra and Bix Biederbecke rolled into one. There was a very long fade out for Baker though. He didn't die young like Biederbecke and grow into a jazz legend. When the end came for troubled Baker, he was much older than his 58 years. The boy from Oklahoma who started out with just his ability to play a melodic trumpet was a used up junkie who took a mysterious dive out of a Amsterdam hotel room window.

The Bulls offense has starting to run smoothly, and they're finally coming together as a team that could win the East.
