Composer/pianist Bob Baldwin is not only recognized for his superb jazz piano artistry, but also his talent in composing and arranging for famous colleagues. In this polished recording HENNA (defined as The powdered leaves of a tropical shrub, used as a dye to color the hair and decorate the body…) his respect for the truly natural and organic feeling of music shines forth. As he has stated, “The beauty of our earth produces so many great and prosperous things. In fact, people have actually lived off of the virtues of this beautiful earth for thousands of years.”

For this, his 31st offering, Bob introduces some of the most casually sophisticated jazz sounds on records! The instrumentation/arrangements sparkle and the variation of tones and moods spread across the gamut, at times paying homage to his favorite contemporary pianists George Duke and Joe Sample – both now deceased.

The ensemble is Bob Baldwin -piano, keyboards, vocals, bass, drums, and vocorder, Café Da Silva – percussion, Tony Lewis – drums, Dave Anderson – bass, Lori Williams - lead vocals, Ragan Whiteside – flutes, Dennis Johnson – additional drums Brooke Alford - violin, Marion Meadows, Walter Beasley and Fred Vigdor - saxophone, Tom Browne, Joey Sommerville and Barry Danielian - trumpet, Rohn Lawrence - rhythm guitar, U-Nam, Nils, and Chris Harris – guitar, Marcus Anderson - talk box (on chorus), Jorel “J-Fly” Flynn – drums, and Tres Gilbert – bass,

The tracks are I Heard You Twice (The First Time), In The Print, Sorry (Not Sorry), Henna, Food For Thought, A Brazilian Love Affair, No Longer Lost, Long Weekend (See You On Tuesday), Keep Movin’, Club Life, Fly Breeze, In The Moment, Club Life (Smooth Radio Version), and Long Weekend (See You On Tuesday) (Radio Exit).

This is some of the finest ensemble jazz around – the talent of Bob Baldwin is extraordinary.

'NewUrbanJazz.com 2 / Re-Vibe' carries the torch where the first edition left off, featuring Baldwin's urban jazz influences, where strains of Stevie Wonder co-exist nicely with rich lush full bodied vibes reminiscent of a Quincy Jones.

Tracks Like 'Metro' with its underlying angst and rollicking 'Tower of Power' funk, with tasty fills by AWB Sax Sideman Freddy V, sets the hook. The reeling in continues with the deep set grooves of 'Get Over It' and pulls you further into shore with the satisfying feel good side 'For Grover and George', a tip of the hat to the late Grover Washington Jr. and George Howard featuring sax by Darren Rahn. Your R&B itch will be scratched with the tracks 'Are You Ready' by Atlantic Starr co-founder and Drummer/Songwriter Porter Carroll, Jr. and 'All Over You', featuring the gritty and powerhouse voice of Glenn Jones. The is set rounded out by the contagious, atmospheric 'Arabian Sweets' a swinging Arabic vibe set to a hip-hop beat an idea born out of a recent trip to Dubai. Bob Baldwin fans will rejoice at the arrival of this his finest work to date and the early buzz on the streets indicates that this NewUrbanJazz.com 2/ Re-Vibe will re-invigorate not only his massive following but continue to build upon it.

The only smooth jazz album that was released post-9/11 with an American Songbook theme. With jazz allstars Marion Meadows, Kim Waters, Chuck Loeb, Chieli Minucci, Cafe Da Silva, Ragan Whiteside, Vaneese Thomas, Joel Rosenblatt, Buddy Williams and more.

Bob Baldwin wasn't the first artist to name a project after his website -- Fattburger and Jethro Tull both beat him to the punch -- but the funk-jazz keyboard whiz's Bobbaldwin.com devotes its liner notes to reminding us to enjoy technology but not let it take over for our heart and soul. Baldwin puts his music where his words are, using his synth rack to create numerous busy, often retro-soul textures, but, at heart, his graceful yet punchy melodies shine through at all times. He has a good time with titles, moving from the cool hip-hop of "eSmooth" (which features his trademark high-register swirling solos between revisits to the sax-driven hook) through "Westchester Online" (with a playful cat and mouse game between Dean James's soprano and Joey Summerville's bouncy trumpet) and then on to the album's most unusual piece, "Overtime (In the Chatroom)." As if to make a point about what too much cybertalk can do to one's sensibilities, Baldwin offers no defining pop melody, instead darting in and out with percussive avant-garde synth lines, clicking wah-wah guitars, and an occasionally smooth soprano line from Marion Meadows, over floating, hypnotic atmospheres. Most of the other material is smartly played and very in-the-pocket, from the opening cover of "Never Can Say Goodbye" (with crackling guitar passages and harmonies by Chuck Loeb) and the brassy party tune "Funkin' for Jamaica," featuring trumpeter Tom Browne and the harmonic blend of the saxes of Gerald Albright, Marion Meadows, and Fred Vigdor.
