ELVIS COSTELLO talks to film maker John Edginton about the great jazz trumpet player and vocalist, CHET BAKER. How he discovered and obsessed over Chet's music. In 1983, Elvis tracked Chet down in London and Chet agreed to play trumpet on Elvis's recording of the song "Shipbuilding".
In 1986 Elvis joined Chet onstage at Ronnie Scott's jazz club. In 1987, Chet recorded Elvis's song "Almost Blue".
The interview is largely unedited. Apologies for the interviewer's low audio.
Filmed at the Bowery Hotel, New York City. 2011. 34 mins
