Jeroen de Valk published Baker's first biography, a year after Baker's passing in 1988. Now, here is de Valk's thoroughly updated and expanded edition. De Valk spoke to Baker himself, his friends and colleagues, the police inspector who investigated his death and many others. He read every relevant word that was ever published about Chet and listened to every recording: issued or unissued.As a Dutch musician and journalist, Jeroen de Valk clears up quite a few misunderstandings.
