BOB BALDWIN & MARION MEADOWS

New York native Bob Baldwin was taught to play the piano by his father Robert Baldwin Sr. With the help of his elder name sake, he discovered his ability of perfect pitch at the age of four. Baldwin studied the classical and jazz repertoire but his intriguing harmonies were honed due to his wide range of inspiration which included Oscar Peterson, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis.

While studying accounting, business and broadcasting in college, he never strayed far from his first love. Baldwin never let that business acumen go to waste as he was one of the first artists on record to sell CDs online in 1995.

Marion Meadows is a tenor saxophonist, soprano saxophonist, composer and smooth jazz recording artist.

Meadows has released a total of nine albums to date.

After studying jazz with Anthony Truglia, Meadows attended Berklee College of Music, where he majored in arranging and composition. He later went to the SUNY Purchase School for the Arts, where he studied under Ron Herder.

Meadows has collaborated with numerous artists and musicians including Brook Benton, Eartha Kitt, Phyllis Hyman, Jean Carne, The Temptations, Michael Bolton, Angela Bofill, Will Downing and Native American flute player Douglas Spotted Eagle, among others. His latest album is Secrets.
