"Proulx is front and center, overflowing with fresh zeal and sparkling energy." - JazzTimesVocalist/pianist John Proulx (pronounced Prue) pays tribute to Chet Baker with "Baker's Dozen" (Remembering Chet Baker). Proulx offers a fresh take on a number of standards popularized by Baker including "Let's Get Lost," "My Funny Valentine," "I Fall in Love Too Easily," and "But Not for Me" to name a few. "Baker's Dozen" features some stellar musicians including Dominick Farinacci on trumpet and flugelhorn, Chuck Berghofer on bass and Joe LaBarbera on drums. Since the release of his MAXJAZZ debut, "Moon and Sand," Proulx has appeared with the likes of Natalie Cole, Bobby Shew and Marian McPartland. Proulx is also a Grammy-winning composer having co-written the song "These Golden Years," recorded by Nancy Wilson for her Grammy-winning CD, Turned to Blue.
