brownie Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 The French TV cable channel Mezzo premiered Sunday night 'Chet by Claxton', a 26-minute documentary by French filmmaker Bertrand Fevre in which photographer William Claxton discusses many of the famous photos he took of Chet Baker when the trumpet player was starting out on the West Coast in the '50s. The photos were gathered in Claxton's book 'Young Chet'. Nice show which was marred by several sequences showing a young man (presumably a contemporary Chet Baker) driving through the streets of Los Angeles nowadays to voice uninteresting statements on drugs, jazz, films. Background music was all Chet Baker's including the classic 'You Don't Know What Love Is' quartet rendition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
