Today (December 9th), smooth jazz keyboardist Bob Baldwin celebrates his 49th birthday and has some exciting news to share. He has announced that he has finished a CD that he calls his Michael Jackson Project.

“It’s been on-again-off-again since 2000, when I recorded ‘Never Can Say Goodbye’ with Chuck Loeb,” writes Baldwin on his website. “Michael Jackson is such an incredible artist and his just-due is deserved, despite his quirky lifestyle.”

Born in Mount Vernon, NY, Baldwin grew up in a musical family. He released his debut album in 1990, Rejoice, on Atlantic Records. Since then he has released 10 other CDs, including Brazil Chill in 2004 and All in a Days’ Work in 2005.

In 2007, Baldwin released a DVD titled Memoirs From the Hudson, which featured live music recorded in May of 2005 at a smooth jazz festival at Croton Point Park in Croton, NY. This past June, he released a CD titled Lookin’ Back that celebrated 20 years of making music.
