Bob Baldwin's follow-up disc of ""Brazil Chill"" is an album that was recorded in Rio De Janeiro and New York City. Features Dave Mann, Café Da Silva, Barry Danielian, Tonni Smith and featuring Zoiea on Vocals. A must-have for the Baldwin collection. This disc was to be a sequel to ""Brazil Chill"", however the label at the time filed bankruptcy (A440 Records), so Baldwin completed disc on his own.
Keyboardist Bob Baldwin remembers advice from his jazz pianist father early on in his career, "Get your props from your body of work, not some sad hit that was pre-determined by some power-hungry exec." Bob's  album, ALL IN A DAYS WORK, is the embodiment of that philosophy. Instead of one or two standout tracks and a lot of mediocre filler, this disc is loaded with compelling, memorable tunes from first note to last... Every one of which would sound awesome coming out of a radio or your player. Bob emphasizes percussion on this collection, so there's plenty of movement to this music. I've always liked Bob Baldwin's style of playing, and I'm especially pleased with the results he's gotten on this one, as he moves smoothly from piano to Rhodes to all the other sonic colors in his keyboards. I enjoyed his previous release, BRAZIL CHILL immensely, and ALL IN A DAYS WORK picks it up right where he left off, in Rio, and evolves stunningly from there back to his home base, New York City. The selections on this disc are all originals I might add and they range from a Brazilian vibe ("Day-O" and "The Very Last Night In Rio") to the ultra-funkiness of "Can You Feel It?" featuring the fine vocal work of Tonni Smith. ALL IN A DAYS WORK is tight, crisp, and more than worthy of your time and ears. This one goes into my music collection in the "essentials" category. May I suggest the same for your Smooth Jazz library? ~SCOTT O'BRIEN
