A set of smooth, sublime, and smoky jazz from trumpeter Vince Mai backed up by a stellar band with Steve Maddock on vocals. The set will feature many beloved Chet Baker standards and more in the same vein, followed by the first local screening of Bruce Weber’s documentary about Baker, one of essential films about jazz.

About Let’s Get Lost (Bruce Weber, 1988, 120 min)

With his languid, cool horn and broken hearted vocal stylings Chet Baker became an icon in the 1950s (it didn’t hurt that he looked like Jimmy Dean). Years of drug addiction hampered his career and hinted at underlying issues, but he continued to sing and play with haunting delicacy. Photographer Bruce Weber documented his last tour in the 1980s. One of the essential jazz films, this is achingly tender, steeped in beautiful music and black and white photography; a love letter to a lost soul.
