I might be a little late on the bandwagon on this one - seeing as Bruce Weber shot it in 1987 and it came out again for the second time late last year . . . Piyatat lent the dvd to me for inspiration and background as I was writing an introduction to his book for his show, Impromptu, about jazz.
Let's Get Lost is a sumblime, beautiful, and sincere homage to the late Chet Baker if there ever was one.
Bruce Weber is a master at capturing freedom in its purest form, soft, yet tainted with a raw edge . . . I was so inspired. I love also that his vision is so holistic. . .you can tell it is him through and through.
Chet Baker was a a rare talent, a cool dude and an amazing musician- for me he epitomised a certain time, jazz, freedom, spontaiety - and beauty.
