The tapes sat in Weber's archive for decades before he curated this collection, released in 2025 with longtime Baker collaborator John Leftwich producing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first two sides come from studio sessions in Hollywood and Paris, where Baker's fragile, unhurried voice drifts over Make Me Rainbows and a delicate Haunted Heart, his trumpet answering in soft, rounded phrases. Sides three and four move to a live set in Cannes, with the band stretching out on Milestones before Almost Blue closes things in a hush so quiet it feels almost private. Spoken moments and a recited poem add to the sense of sitting in the room with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a bittersweet listen, the sound of a musician whose tone only grew more intimate with age. Pressed for keeps, this set adds a moving final chapter to one of jazz's most haunting stories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57165864796465,"sku":"769165090621","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Chet_Baker-Swimming_by_Moonlight_Deluxe_Edition_2LP.jpg?v=1793186111","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/chet-baker-swimming-by-moonlight-deluxe-edition-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
