Never Out of Season / Remixed and Re-Mastered

In 1986, Bob Baldwin helped to lay bricks for the foundation of what is now called "Gospel Jazz" with his work on the Tom Browne "No Longer I" disc. Prior to him, only groups like Koinonia and Seawind preceded both funk-jazz icon Browne and Baldwin, as they both wanted to showcase their love for the creator while being known for the music they enjoy playing...jazz. That said, Baldwin finally fulfills a promise made to his late Aunt (Lettie Ayers) by re-mixing his project of 2011 in high-res 24-bit audio, finally issued on CD for the first time. This Gospel-Jazz piece features Marcus Anderson on sax, opening the disc with an uplifting groove piece called "Be Blessed (no Stress)"...he's later featured on the Donnie McClurkin classic "Speak to my Heart". Pianist Baldwin hearkens us back to the 1600's with jazzed-up classic hymns like "The Lord's Prayer / Let the Church say Amen", featuring Corvina Nielson (Vocals). Baldwin speaks to the current social conditions today with "Where's That Smile?", featuring Washington, D.C. Vocal sensation Lori Williams. Interpretations of "Silent Night", "Hallelujah" and "Jesus Loves Me" round out the set with a piano 'churchy' original "Prologue". This NY pianist shows off his church chops he honed when playing for churches in the 1980's. Those chops were reinforced when he saw Tramaine Hawkins live in college in the early 80's...it was there he envisioned the blend of Jazz and Gospel as a format. While his love for Gospel music is evident, he never strays far from his first love of jazz on this project, staying true to his "Baldwin sound". This is a must-have for Baldwin fans and those in Gospel looking for a new twist in their music collection. - written by the staff at City Sketches, Inc.
