About This Song
About "Filature (Bande originale du film "Flic ou voyou")" by Chet Baker
Filature: the art of the tail. Baker's trumpet becomes footsteps on wet pavement, a theme that doubles back and hesitates at corners. There's a nervous elegance to the pursuit, the melody always just ahead or behind. Jazz noir as surveillance—patient, paranoid, and impossibly cool.
