Looked on my Netflix and found a movie based on my favorite jazz artist Chet Baker... I've said it before and I will say it again, he lived a hard life but was a great trumpet player.
I have the book Deep In A Dream by James Gavin. Probably not a great person, but a great musician. Contrast that with Joe Morello, who was both a great player AND person.
@uncalled4 Shame in me, I've not heard Joe Morello. I'm going to listen to his music. Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I wish Mr Baker was stronger than his addiction. his legacy would have more of a spark had he not been. But I won't discredit too much
