Chet Baker was the poster boy of West Coast cool — angelic face, fragile tone, and a life in slow collapse. With a trumpet that whispered more than it roared and a voice that barely touched the air, he made vulnerability sound seductive. In this episode, we trace the haunting beauty and haunting tragedy of Baker’s life: the early fame, the fall into addiction, and the art that somehow endured it all. A story of jazz, ruin, and impossible charm.
