I knew Baker played the trumpet and that he sang Funny Valentine, which echoes from my youth - but knew nothing of his life, which he sadly gave over to heroin even as his music flourished. this is the kind of life-story movie I was expecting to see in Miles Ahead but that movie about Miles Davis veered away from his music into violence, which I chose not to watch. I can understand an ardent jazz fan wanting more from this film - including Baker's playing - but I learned a bit about his life and will listen to more of his music.
