Lost in a Dream The Life and Songs of Chet Baker with Roscoe

Prolific Australian trumpeter, singer, and composer/arranger Roscoe James Irwin (The Cat Empire, The Bamboos) presents a hauntingly beautiful journey through the sounds and songs of one of the most revered yet tortured figures in popular jazz history, Chet Baker.

Once upon a time considered the James Dean of Jazz, Chet's struggle and decline led to what was ultimately a tragic story yet the legacy of love and West Coast Cool he left behind has resonated for decades since. Joined by a jazz trio and string orchestra, Irwin will present his own gorgeous reworkings of Baker's classic material, with all the cinematic romance, heartbreak, and soul of 1950s California.
