Chet Baker - Swimming by Moonlight

Chet Baker — Swimming By Moonlight

Here's a new Chet Baker album that draws from previously unreleased material recorded near the end of his life. From 1986-1987, Chet traveled and worked with the photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber on a project that would become their Oscar-nominated documentary "Let's Get Lost" (1988). During this period, Chet performed in Cannes, France and recorded sessions at Studio Davout in Paris and Sage and Sound Studio in Hollywood.

Inspired by the film — which celebrated its 35th anniversary last year — Swimming By Moonlight is a 2LP soundtrack album curated by Bruce Weber and produced by John Leftwich that compiles music, dialogue and live concert recordings.

Features:
Unreleased recordings — likely the last to ever be released, officially licensed from the archive of Bruce Weber
Deluxe audiophile package
Mastered by Levi Seitz at Black Belt Mastering from 48/24 files transferred from original analog tape
180-gram Neotech premium vinyl pressed by Record Technology Inc.
Stoughton Printing heavyweight tip on double gatefold jacket
Includes the essay 'Remembering Chet ' by Bruce Weber, Nan Bush, and John Leftwich
Meticulously curated and executive produced by famed photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber
