Answer
Chet Baker started with "a promising start" for several reasons. Early in his career, he received praise and encouragement from Charlie Parker, one of the founders of modern jazz. At the peak of Parker’s fame, they performed on stage together multiple times. Miles Davis even considered Baker as a replacement after he abruptly left Miles' ensemble.
