Crossover jazz artist Bob Baldwin crosses over even more boldly with his 2008 release, NEWURBANJAZZ.COM. Simultaneously signaling the supremacy of the internet age (especially as it impacts music) and the growing influence of contemporary hip-hop and R&B on jazz, this album is a funky, cool nod to jazz-pop fusion with a smooth, urban soul vibe (complete with complementary vocals and raps). Baldwin's bursts of keyboard improvisation keep the jazz element high in the mix, however.
Industry Reviews
Baldwin is one of the genre's most talented keyboardists, and he makes the blending of pop and R&B rhythms look easy.
