JAZZ MUSICIAN HOLDS BE-BOP SEANCE FOR CHET BAKER
JAZZ MUSICIAN HOLDS BE-BOP SEANCE FOR CHET BAKER
NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) For years, jazz musician Leif Arntzen has been told he plays just like the late trumpet great Chet Baker. Now, he plans to confront the comparisons by holding a be-bop seance next month with a psychic who will attempt to contact the drug-addled musicians ghost. If contact is made, Arntzen will ask Chets ghost to sit in for a set and see if there is a similarity in their playing styles. Arntzen has never had any psychic experiences but says he feels a strange kinship to Baker that he hopes will be explained at the seance. Although Arntzen wants Bakers ghost to show up, he only wants to see the specter if hes sober and if the spook tries to borrow money for drugs, he wont give him a dime.
