Chet Baker's friend and drummer Artt Frank tells, in gripping detail, about Chet's sudden fame, his struggle with drugs, and the effects of a beating that almost ended his career; but also, new insights into Chet's warmth, his love of family, his steely determination and the early emergence of his astonishing talent. Artt Frank not only knew Chet but kept in touch when it seemed like the world had forgotten him: a period he calls 'the missing years'.
