Songs My Father Would Dig teams Baldwon with Tony Lewis/dr, Richie Goods/b, and Edson da Silva/p on a mix of originals and hip standards. There’s a soulful feel to the slow and careful read of “Equinox” and a dainty dash n “Dolphin Dance”. Some classy soul pop is served on “ Tell Me A  Bedtime Story” and “Nardis” has a Sunday morning feel. Two reads of “Til We Meet Again” have Baldwin singing and playing in Stevie Wonder fashion. Dad had good taste!

It’s Okay To Dream has Baldwin playing piano, keyboards, bass, drums and even singing a bit as he mixes and matches with the likes of Jimmy Dludlu/g-voc, Rick Watford/g, Larry Jackson/as, Q Coleman/voc-key, Fred Vigdor/as, Dr. Derek Scott/g and others. He even goes solo, playing just all of the instruments on a pretty title tune, and “That One”, duetting with Watford on an R&Bish ”Turn Up the Positive” , and leading various soulful trios as on the disco’d “Get The Love” and My Will”. Lots of deep grooves.

he 3 Keys are a “new” smooth jazz outfit ; in reality however, they’re not “new” at all. The trio comprise three veteran and much loved keyboardists – Bob Baldwin, Gail Jhonson and Phil Davis. Baldwin’s name will be familiar to every smooth jazz collector. He boasts an enviable catalogue and many have fond memories of his 2019 take on the music of the Beatles and his more recent work with Kathy Kosins. As well as her solo work, Ms Jhonson is known for her work with Jazz In Pink and for many years she was MD for Norman Brown. Phil Davis is maybe a little less known but the Georgia born  musician is an in-demand pianist, producer, composer, and educator who has collaborated with a wide cross-section of artists including Prince, Al Jarreau, Stanley Clarke, Jennifer Holiday, Erykah Badu, Regina Belle and Walter Beasley. What brought the threesome together musically was a deep mutual respect and a shared love for artists like George Duke Stevie Wonder and Herbie Hancock. Jhonson explains how the project began. “Phil and I were performing with Grammy-winning guitarist Norman Brown, and we met up with Bob Baldwin backstage. Naturally, I wanted a photo of the three of us together since it is rare for keyboard players to get the chance to hang out. We were joking and laughing and as we took the shot I said, ‘we should be a group!’” Baldwin adds, “The piano like all instruments is such a personal instrument.  It was cool and refreshing to see a different spin on the same instrument from all our different perspectives. This project is really to showcase the piano, which is the backbone for Contemporary and Smooth Jazz.” 

Reviews for Bob Baldwin's album B Positive reflect its uplifting and healing vibe, distinctive blend of jazz and R&B, and skilled musicianship. Reviewers note the album's motivational theme and highlight specific tracks like "Let's Rewind," which features Kathy Kosins, as standout examples of the album's strong songwriting and performance. 

Recorded during the tough times of covid, Henna offers a varied listen from groove-based explorations to feel-good tunes to pop-laden expressions. The totality of the album is a satisfying listen from start to finish—another diamond in Bob Baldwin’s discography collection.

TheUrbanMusicScene.com gave a positive review, noting the album is a "gentle fusion of Jazz, with some of Baptist Church roots". The review specifically highlighted tracks such as the "pleasant jaunt" through Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas," the "celestially reharmonized" version of Vince Guaraldi's "Christmas Time is Here," and the "serenely churchy" "O Holy Night," featuring Ragan Whiteside on the flute.

With The album's seamless blend of Brazilian and American rhythms, its "mellow and smooth" sound, and Baldwin's virtuosic performance on the keyboards. Special attention is given to the two-part structure—"Rio-Ipanema" and "New York"—and the tribute to Maurice White, which is frequently mentioned as a particularly heartfelt and resonant section. 

The 26-track, two-disc set is praised for providing a substantial amount of music, with many reviewers noting it's hard to pick favorite tracks due to the high quality of all the songs.
