Meeco: Meeco: Beauty of the Night

Chet Baker: She Was Too Good To Me
by C. Michael Bailey
Chet BakerShe Was Too Good To MeCTI Records1974 The modern image of trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker is a hopelessly fractious one. Baker is, at once, a brilliant musical autodidact with a superb ear while, at the same time, a musician with a nonexistent grounding in musical theory. Like ...
