New music by the late acclaimed jazz trumpeter and singer has just been released, 37 years after his death.
Fifteen previously unreleased studio and live tracks by Baker that were recorded during the making of Bruce Weber’s 1988 Oscar-nominated documentary Let’s Get Lostare now available on the album Chet Baker Performs & Sings Swimming by Moonlight, after they spent nearly 40 years on the shelf.
Recorded at Sage and Sound Studio in Hollywood, Studio Davout in Paris, as well as a 1987 Cannes performance at the premiere of Weber’s debut feature film, Broken Noses, the recordings capture Baker in prime form. The album includes Baker’s takes of classics by Irving Berlin (“Remember”), Antonio Carlos Jobim (“Quiet Nights), and Alec Wilder (“I’ll Be Around),” as well as an interpretation of Elvis Costello’s “Almost Blue.”
Baker died on May 13, 1988, after falling out of a second-story window at a hotel in Amsterdam. His death was ruled an accident. Traces of heroin and cocaine were in his body and found in his room. He was 59.
Aside from the Let’s Get Lost documentary, Baker’s life was also told in 2015 biopic Born to Be Blue, starring Ethan Hawke as the late musician.
