for chet baker?lot about his voice interest me. there is something about his voice that is not masculine or feminine, is some kind of androgenous sound. the fact that he sings so quietly, so understated, there is no ornament to it. the lyrics, the poetry behind it, so much more than some of the loud voices. in that sound, i find a lot of his humanity. it is a great voice to go for. tavis: i like how you define and describe that. when you reference the humanity of chet baker, what are you hearing? >> vulnerability, the fact that it is not refined in a way that you and i would respect. we all know that he had a tragic life and was involved in drugs and was a junkie, really. but in order to get a sound out, to take a breath and make a sound, he has to dig so deeply. maybe in that way he reveal something that some of us who are really thinking or covering our sound cannot do that. it is just a lack of self consciousness. tavis: i have had more than one person who suggested to me, artists, writers, who ha

it's very similar to my central character, chet. as this went on in contemporary news it fed on where my central character became bolstered. that's what happens when you are writing a play. over a period of 3 1/2, 4 years things happen in your personal life and in the world around you that continue to sort of feed into the play. so the no no boy aspect, i just gave him a speech a couple days ago where he says, because i really want to bring up the issue and make it relevant to contemporary times. he says, doesn't anybody care what happened? they took away our rights. doesn't anybody care? is the constitution just a piece of paper that means nothing that the president can sign another piece of paper and then we lose our citizenship and they can do whatever the hell they wanted to us? it's wrong, it was wrong then, it was wrong now and i don't care what kind of questionnaire it is, i'll sign it no no and i'll yell it at the president, i'll yell it at roosevelt,

we have chet playing his horn, just playing his horn, kind of a bluesy jazz thing. that's supposed to speak to where else at that moment at the end of the play. as i watched it, i thought of some stuff we cut before. he used to say simple things. i come into your house, you come into mine. trust, that's all, just a little trust. i thought that would work really well. but i sort of brought it up and everyone was saying, no, if -- the music seems to say it all. i thought, well, that's right. if the music can say it without any words, then that's what we should go with. so that's a moment where hopefully if you have lined everything up correctly, at that moment that chet pulls out his or not after he's a blow out with earl and everyone, he pulls out this horn and it's the first time he plays, it's whatever he feels at that moment and sums up where he's at at the end of the play. that's what we tried today. the tricky thing is it's a built of a stretch of reality. ever have a character in theater ever pick up a horn and play who is not a horn player? unless you do it ri
