Quotes by Chet Baker

Artt Frank is my all-time favorite drummer. He always seems to know where I'm going.

The drummer; he inspired me to play like no one else I have ever met.

The one thing that did stand out in my memory was the fact that he had a well documented association with Heroin. Growing up with a somewhat myopic view of the world, I could not understand how it was that people could put a drug user on such a high pedestal (If you will pardon the pun).

Well, if I could play like Wynton (Marsalis), I wouldn't play like Wynton.
