I added the photograph of the monument. Thought I was logged in before I saw my Dutch account didn't work on Wiki English.

He left Oklahoma and never looked back

Influence

I'm not qualified to write this section, but it would be nice to see a discussion of his influence on jazz both in his heyday and on musicians who followed.

Roger, you don't have to be qualified to write. If you can find some sources, you can quote and reference them. Let the experts who have already discussed this speak. That is what Wikipedia is about. --Michael Johnson 00:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Including Chet Baker in the already existent category "American jazz musicians"

Hi Guys:

I was browsing through many American jazz musicians, and at Charlie Parker's page, I found he belongs to some Wikipedia categories, including American Jazz Musicians [1], and although it's not very well sorted (ok, sorted by name, and letter, but unsorted inside each letter - even though very useful), it has some names over there that would be of good improvement to Chet Baker's page to belong to that link.

Especially when the first line of Chet Baker's page starts with Chet Baker is an American Jazz Musician. it could be a hyper link to the index, instead of linking to United States or to Jazz only.

Hope this is useful for you.

Cheers
