Bob Baldwin Standing Tall
April 28th, 2007Standing Tall is the latest release from Smooth Jazz Superstar Bob Baldwin, and is another winner from 
this talented musician.
Standing Tall opens with the title track, which is a very nice song that I suspect will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track.
Smooth Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Roy Ayers, Marion Meadows and Kim Waters plus a few other notables as well.
If you’re a Bob Baldwin fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don’t even have to be a fan of Baldwin, or even Smooth Jazz to know is good. This is just good music. Period.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore […as in “Stuck On REpeat”] is track 7, See You In Miami. Great track!
