Autumn Leaves with Chet Baker and Ruth Young youtube/watch?v=aegpqp2mNSM Jazz trumpeter and vocalist Chet Baker left many disappointed friends and broken-hearted lovers in his wake. In the 1988 documentary Lets Get Lost, smoky-voiced chanteuse Ruth Young gives a pragmatic reason for her decision to hook up with him: It would be like living with Picasso – the closest I could get to greatness. Young probably knew that Picasso was a terror to live with as well, and Lets Get Lost suggests the comparison works on more than one level. Webers film, long unavailable on VHS and receiving a 20th-anniversary re-release in select theaters and on video, offers a tribute to Bakers music and charisma without offering excuses for his personal behavior.
