In yesterday’s Buzzyblog Post about Van’s great tune “When the Leaves Come Falling Down,” he mentions listening to Chet Baker. Chet who, I hear you ask. Give him a listen to here:

Chet died at 59 years old in 1988 after falling from a fourth story window in Amsterdam. For a better look at him and his music there was a film made with Chet, Elvis Costello and Van titled “Live at Ronnie Scott’s.” You can catch that here (click here.)
