Richard Twarzik. Talented
young pianist found dead of a heroin overdose, with the needle still in his
arm, probably days after this photograph. He was 23. He studied music at cambridge, and worked
with charlie parker, and appeared on a couple parker albums before Baker. Many
blamed Baker himself for Twarzik's death, and believed he was present, and left
his friend to die. Quickly after all major labels didn’t want anything to do
with Chet Baker...
Listen to one of their best...Chet and Richard...piano and voice...Born To Be Blue.
