Preiss had the rare chance to salvage a selection of 8mm reeled from his archive; 30 years after it was first shot, this lovingly refashioned material returns as…a luminescent ode to the friends, filmmakers and artists with whom Preiss lived and worked during this time.
Bruce Weber's making-of documentary for his portrait of Chet Baker, LET'S GET LOST.
The story of a light ray falling from a music note. It's also a tribute to a musician... It's the music of a legend, the portrait of a romance. Not long before his death, on November 25, 1987 Chet Baker plays "I'm a fool to want you" for the camera of a parisian studio.
This performance by legendary jazz horn player Chet Baker was recorded in Tokyo, Japan on June 14, 1987, and features such classics as "Stella by Starlight," "My Funny Valentine," and "I'm a Fool to Want You." Accompanying Baker in the performance are Harold Danko on piano, Hein van de Gein on bass, and John Engels on drums.
This documentary includes performances of legendary jazz trumpeter Chet Baker joined by Michel Graillier and Red Mitchell on piano and Jean-Louis Rassinfosse on bass. Also, an interview with Baker is included.
This long unavailable performance in Sweden by Chet Baker in his late period presents the trumpeter in a very relaxed mood, playing at a television studio and pakced only by piano and bass (no drums!). Chet performs most of the tunes comfortably seated on a sofa, as if he were in his own living room. The program displays a combination of some of his most famous tunes and a couple of lovely standards, such as Bud Powell's "Tempus Fugit" (which Baker had only previously recorded twice before) and his friend Bob Zleff's "Sad Walk". For the last part of the performace, renowned bassist Red Mitchell comes onto the set for a short but insightful interview with Chet Baker. Later, both play a sweet duet version of "My Romance" with Mitchell returing to the first instrument he learned to play: the piano. Recorded at the Sonet Library, Stockholm, Sweden, June 30, 1985.
