Q. Chet’s amazingly vague when he talks about his music — is that why the film’s as much about his lifestyle and image?

A. I think he made music the way he lived — and as a photographer and a filmmaker, I really appreciated that. I asked him, “Are there any other musicians I should interview for this film?” He said, “No, I don’t think so.” His idea of talking about music was talking about driving fast cars, or about what it was like to sail a boat. His favorite sport was deep-sea diving.
