Steve Barbone:

Re Chet Baker, what an enormous talent. All ear, no safety net of reading music or chords to fall back on if he got lost.'

Steve...I don't think that Chet Baker ever 'got lost' playing a tune.  Musicians at that level of playing simply don't get 'get lost.'  And he had an innate sense of the right harmonics or chords of a tune.
