For those who like a little contemporary folk with their jazz, David Wilcox wrote a nice song a while back called "Chet Baker's Unsung Swan Song." (k.d. lang covered it as "My Old Addiction.") Worth a listen while you read this article or get lost on Wikipedia. Edit: although David Wilcox is fun live, I suggest you look for the studio version with the flugelhorn part; e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEBncfBVmxQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEBncfBVmxQ.
