• 12:00 AM. Music Through the Night

  Two Great Romantics

• 5:00 PM. The New Jazz Archive

  Hosted by long-time jazz composer and musician, Jeff Haas, The New Jazz Archive is a series exploring the stories and sounds of jazz's place in American life.

  This week, it's the brilliant and tumultuous life of Chet Baker. Chet Baker's James Dean-like good looks and emotional trumpet playing represented everything that was cool about "cool jazz." But his life was the opposite of that in almost every way. Biographer James Gavin talks about Chet's life and music - from his unlikely breakthrough as one of the most popular trumpeters of the 1950s to the drug addiction which nearly unravelled his career. And we'll explore Chet's surprising, controversial work as a jazz vocalist and trace his role in bringing new life to one of jazz's most treasured standards. (American Public Radio)
