Bob Baldwin
Church Street Jazz Series

Bob Baldwin is a New York-born contemporary jazz pianist, music composer, author, and producer, who learned music from his father, Robert (Bob) Baldwin, Sr. Baldwin's recording career started in 1983. He has earned five SESAC Music awards, initially for his 2002-2003 airplay of "The Way She Looked At Me," followed by one for his 2008 airplay on NewUrbanJazz.com, one in 2010 for his Never Can Say Goodbye: A Tribute to Michael Jackson, and one in 2011 for NewUrbanJazz.com2 / Re-Vibe, and one for his disc "Twenty". His 2015 release, "MelloWonder / Songs In the Key of Stevie", which honors Stevie Wonder, debuted #16 on the Billboard Overall Jazz Charts.

In 1987, Sony founded the Sony Innovator's Awards, an annual ceremony to award aspiring Afro-American artists who have shown outstanding talent in music and the visual arts. Baldwin was awarded the Sony Innovators Award in 1989 selected by Roberta Flack.

In 2006, Bob signed on with Baldwin Piano (owned by Gibson Guitar Corp.) as an endorser. In October, 2008, Baldwin launched NewUrbanJazz Radio, which programs "The NewUrbanJazz Lounge", a 2-hour program that is affiliated on over 30 stations in the U.S.

Across a career for which a two decade milestone was achieved in 2013 with his twentieth CD Twenty, Bob Baldwin has proven to be one of the most ubiquitous and ingenious chameleons of Contemporary Jazz - both in his own projects and those he has endeavored upon for others.

His recordings include features from Chuck Loeb, Marion Meadows, Phil Perry, Kim Waters, Will Downing, Chieli Minucci, Eric Essix, Joey Sommerville, Ragan Whiteside, Dennis Johnson, Grover Washington, Jr., Najee, Dean James and Bo Valentine. He's played or produced on records recorded by; Rhonda Smith, Joey Sommerville, Marion Meadows, Pieces of a Dream, Freddie Jackson, Grover Washington, Jr., Howard Hewitt, The Four Tops, Melba Moore, Rohn Lawrence, Regina Carter, Ragan Whiteside, Toni Redd, Whistle, Tom Browne, John Dukich, and Michael Urbianiak.

In 2012, he authored a book, entitled, You Better Ask Somebody, which speaks about his over twenty-five years of experience in the music business. City Sketches Records is the home recording label for most of Baldwin's solo recordings, where they solely house over fourteen solo Baldwin titles. In 2011-2013, he curated the NewUrbanJazz Music Series for Arts Westchester, an Arts Council based out of White Plains, NY.

His on stage performance is best described as simply electric. Welding his many talents to a fierce streak of conscious independence, Bob Baldwin sees himself as more than just an artist but a human being in control of his destiny and with a legacy of artistic benevolence to pass on.
