Years ago, a friend introduced me to the music of Chet Baker. We were later sitting having some tea and he said, “turn around….that poster behind you, you know that’s Chet Baker, right”? I almost fell off my chair. I didn’t believe him at first. Since when does someone who sounds like that, look like that?! I was not alone in my fascination, not at all. During the 80′s, after spotting his face on an album cover, Bruce Weber finally met Chet Baker at a club in New York City. This lead to the filming of “Lets Get Lost”, a documentary following Chet Baker’s life from its rise in the 50′s to its decline in the 80′s. Watch this film and get to know what all of the fuss is about. Chet Baker: photographed by William Claxton
