The drummer; he inspired me to play like no one else I have ever met.
The one thing that did stand out in my memory was the fact that he had a well documented association with Heroin. Growing up with a somewhat myopic view of the world, I could not understand how it was that people could put a drug user on such a high pedestal (If you will pardon the pun).
Well, if I could play like Wynton (Marsalis), I wouldn't play like Wynton.... (more Chet Baker quotes)
