Chet Baker (1929-1988) was an American jazz trumpet player and singer known for his significant contributions to the cool jazz genre, earning him the nickname 'prince of cool'. Throughout the 1950s, he received considerable attention and critical acclaim, especially for his vocal albums like 'Chet Baker Sings' and 'It Could Happen to You'. Jazz historian Dave Gelly described Baker's early career promise as embodying the essence of James Dean, Sinatra, and Bix. His struggle with drug addiction and time in jail also contributed to his notoriety, though he revived his career in the late 1970s and 1980s.
