This documentary was produced for television in the Netherlands in the early 90's, and is, perhaps, the most accurate and honest look at the life, career and The Last Days of Chet Baker. There is some very rare footage and a balanced look into Baker's playing.

Re: Chet Baker — The Last Days
So far, I've only sampled that video, but it's impressive, as is Chet Baker in it. Thanks, Ron!
Beginning in this post and continuing through the next two posts is an article that was published on May 23, 1988---10 days after Chet Baker's death. It's very good, IMO, but be warned that it largely focuses on his heroin addiction.

Re: Chet Baker — The Last Days
I haven't seen it in several many years, but I remember being very affected by Let's Get Lost. Such a tragic figure.
