Focus on Chet Baker
Trumpter and singer Chet Baker had a compelling, unique sound, and lived a compelling, difficult life. James Gavin has just written a biography of Baker, and in the process he's found lots of rare performance and interview recordings. On this edition of Spinning On Air, Gavin joins host David Garland to share his treasure trove of Chet Baker rarities.
