4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable., March 9, 2008

By	a tois (New York) - See all my reviews

Fusing elements of funk, soul, jazz, hip-hop and R&B, the renowned keyboardist continues to crank out the funky grooves with his latest release, "NewUrbanJazz.com".
"Always thinking ahead, Baldwin boldly asserted the power of Internet marketing when he called his 2000 release "BobBaldwin.com".
And he gets back to that concept (while ostensibly creating a new subgenre of smooth jazz) by calling his spirited, melodic, slightly old-school, coolly funky 2008 disc "NewUrbanJazz.com"..AllMusic.
Also he has added a bit more variety to his music and some great vocals to the mix, resulting in his most mature release to date.
Guest vocalists like Freddie Jackson, Phil Perry and Jocelyn Brown break up the instrumental tracks with some good R&B.
He gets some great help from contemporary jazz cats like Najee and Maron Meadows.
The keyboardist also introduces listeners and fans to versatile newcomers like indie music star Frank McComb and rapper Della Croche.
Overall, the sound has more contemporary touches with drum loops and the like but without losing that nineties retro feel.
There's probably something here for everyone - from gutsy funk to funky/jazzy grooves and deep soulmoves.
Bob's deeply funky, intelligent keyboard bass lines are guaranteed to get the backbone twitching whatever else is going on.
Entertaining stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Newurban jazz is hot, June 16, 2008

By	Jazz Diva "jazz diva" - See all my reviews

I recently purchased Bob Baldwin's new CD - NewUrban Jazz and let me tell you. It's one you have to have. Bob is such a talented artist, who I think is underrated. The man is just off the hook. I truly enjoy his music and this CD is no exception. You have to get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars AS ALWAYS NEVER DISAPPOINTING, March 28, 2008

By	M. Hedges "Squirell nutkin" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As always a very impressive collection.If you are a Baldwin fan then buy without hesitation.Some great vocal tracks but its the Instrumental Funky stuff with that mind blowing drum and bass that cuts the mustard.To add to this some of the most gifted Guest artists.Check the Magnificent 'Flying High' feat Frank McComb,the Timeless 'My cherie amour' with Najee and my personal favourite 'Shes all that' with the over talented Mr.Marion Meadows.This is the 7th BB album i have purchased and the man shows no sign of wavering.A Superb Keybordist and Great Producer.Buy it and then Praise for yourself.
