Chet Baker - Chet Baker Performs and Sings Swimming By Moonlight [2LP/ 180G/ Audiophile Pressing]

Chet Baker is an icon and needs no introduction! He is currently one of the best known and best selling Jazz artist in the world.

Chet Baker Performs and Sings Swimming By Moonlight is 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. Long rumored to exist, this will likely be the last new, unreleased Chet Baker music to ever be released. It has been in Bruce Weber's archive for nearly 40 years. Inspired for release by the film - which celebrated its 35th anniversary last year - Swimming By Moonlight is a two-record soundtrack album curated by Bruce Weber and produced by Chet collaborator John Leftwich that compiles music, dialogue and live concert recordings. Slow Down Sounds is thrilled and honored to officially license this music from Little Bear, Inc and release it to the world!
