you knew him?

Oh don't be silly, its just an educated guess. This documentary ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095515/ ) shows some interesting facts about Chet Bakers struggle with fame, drug abuse, parenthood, etc... It fails to mention the time he put his own "friend" in jail in Italy for drugs that were found in his car.

Dig the mix. Wonder what Chet said about Miles?

Oh, I'd dare say he knew his place, to bring Miles Davis up would have made him tiny in any interview. I hear in his [Chet's] hype they did a record together though.

Yep, Chet was a dick, albeit an honest one.
