Bob Baldwin - B Postive / Bob Baldwin's 34th studio offering is a continual stay-at-home event. The 33rd offering was a live record recorded in Elmsford, NY (The live 'Stay-at-Home Series'). The latest offering, "B Positive" is a road map on how to keep your chin up high. "Having faced near-death family illness, I'm glad I can take away some things that I can share with my listener," says the native New Yorker Pianist. "Chances are, if I've gone through it, so has a lot more people", says Baldwin. "If you just look at the titles, you'll clearly see what my intent is... simply don't lose control of the ship, no matter what goes down". Here's Baldwin's further takes on some of the project below: This record feels more like a rejuvenation of his old projects like "Cool Breeze", hearkening back to fun and bouncy melodies, with just enough harmonic tension to make the hair on the back of your neck tingle and tickle. In closing, my influences of Herbie, Joe Sample, George Duke, as well as inspirations from the old schoolers of jazz make this a cool listen, in my opinion. The bass flows, drums are solid, Phil Hamilton's funky stroke on guitar throughout the project push the syncopation to nice head-nodding spaces. Hopefully, another CD for your driving pleasure for sure! We once thank you for taking this musical journey with Bob Baldwin. We hope 'B Positive' delivers the healing, soothing and blessings you were hoping to expecting, without even listening, the titles themselves make one's mood better already. BFD
