Directed by internationally renowned photographer/filmmaker Bruce Weber, the Oscar nominated Let's Get Lost offers an incredibly powerful insight into the life of the late jazz great Chet baker.
Travelling with the exclusive icon, Weber weaves together the life story of a man they called "the James Dean of the jazz world" charting his incredible rise to international fame and adulation and his tragically rapid demise into womanising and drug addiction. The film uses excerpts from rare performance footage, and candid interviews with Baker, musicians, friends and battling ex wives in what turned out to be the last year of his life.
His movie star looks and cool sound set Baker apart but his endless battle with a narcotic addiction also gave a generation of fans a Doomed Youth of their very own. Chet Baker's life plays out like a Kerouac creation, as did his death (he fell out of an Amsterdam hotel window, age 58), but out of life came some of the most lyrical trumpet playing and jazz vocals ever heard.

Chet Baker, man, myth, or moth eaten old jazz legend? After watching this dvd I plumped for the latter description; this guy was permanently 'high'. He was so 'high' he was practically comatose, and so was I after around 3 hours (including extras) of it. There should have been more music and a lot less introspection.
For any one who hasn't read the definitive Chet Baker biography: DEEP IN A DREAM, the long night of Chet Baker by James Gavin, I'd highly recommend it, it's enough to put anybody off 'getting high' for life, and it may well be available on Play.com, the site that doesn't charge you vat on top of your purchases.
