Who is Bob Baldwin?

Bob Baldwin is an International Jazz artist, having recorded on 4 different continents since the beginning of his recording career (1988).

In 2015, his tribute to Stevie Wonder ("MelloWonder/Songs in the Key of Stevie), broke top through the top-10 Billboard Jazz Charts, his 12th Top-20 disc.

In 1988, Roberta Flack selected him as the Sony Innovators Award winner in a highly publicized new-artist-signing contest. He was then introduced to music mogul Sylvia Rhone, where he signed his first deal with the now-defunct Atlantic Jazz label joining then labelmates Bobby Lyle, Paul Jackson, Jr. and Gerald Albright. 

BB has worked with such Jazz and Pop stars like George Benson, Grover Washington, Jr. (RIP), Will Downing, Marion Meadows, Pieces of a Dream, Phil Perry, Chuck Loeb and Chieli Minucci, to name a select few.

Review

Bob Baldwin is more than adept at recording tribute albums – he has previously paid tribute to Michael Jackson and Thom Bell. His classy piano suits this selection of Stevie Wonder tunes. There are two self-penned tracks too – both of which (‘Wonder Wander’ and ‘Stevie’) are fine smooth tunes. Highlights include ‘Superwoman’, ‘Creepin’ and ‘Don’t You Worry Bout A Thing’. Guests include flautist Ragan Whiteside and vocalist Toni Redd.
