Synopsis

Product Description
June 25th, the day that rocked the music world with the tragic death of the King Of Pop, will mark a day of celebration of the life of Michael Jackson with the release of 'Never Can Say Goodbye', a fitting title to this thoughtful collection of past to present Jackson hits from contemporary jazz pioneer, Pianist/Arranger Bob Baldwin and speaks of the sentiment felt by millions of fans worldwide. Radio promotions as well as a pre-produced radio special, will be made available for broadcast on June 25th across the terrestrial, satellite, internet jazz radio spectrum, including Baldwin s own 'NewUrbanJazz Lounge'
radio program.

Having received the blessing of the Jackson estate, and as a follow up to previous Jackson hits on previous discs, 'Goodbye' is the first jazz record to pay homage to MJ and boasts a sterling handpicked collection of Jackson classics served up Baldwin style. This stirring and feel good tribute to all the man was and the influence he had across the musical spectrum, features original Baldwin reads on the early Jackson 5 hit, 'I ll Be There', Jackson and McCartney s 'The Girl Is Mine', the laid back and soul drenched 'Lady In My Life' (from the 'Thriller' vaults) to the funky side with unique touches on 'Bad' and the Gamble and Huff classic 'Let Me Show You The Way Go', and the highly infectious title track, featuring a cameo appearance from new Fourplay guitarist Chuck Loeb.
'Goodbye', should do well to invigorate Baldwin s massive legion of fans across the world as he continues to look forward, but not without keeping an eye on and honoring those who influenced his past.
 

CD Reviews

Excellent Tribute to The King of Pop
S. Brown | Prince George's County | 07/01/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I purchased this cd the day before the first anniversary of Michael Jackson's transition. I thorougly enjoyed the disc, particularly the track selection, which included some of the less-familiar tunes from Michael's catalog, and the fact that although the songs mostly stayed true to the original melodies there was a lot of improvisation. And Bob Baldwin's original tunes fit just fine with the covers. This is a cd that even the people in your life who "don't like jazz" will appreciate."
Bob Baldwin is "Bad"!!

"If you grew up with The Jackson 5 (and Michael as a solo artist) and are a fan of modern jazz, this CD will bring a smile to your soul! Bob Baldwin's signature style shines through on all cuts and there is never a lull! An awesome set!"
Exceptional

"I just finished listening to Bob Baldwin's latest project. " Never Can Say Goodbye; A Tribute To Michael Jackson ". One word describes this cd, "Exceptional". While most "tribute" cds leave jazz fans disappointed, this cd elevates your enjoyment of great jazz. Bob's unique style is evident throughout this cd. The only other comment to make is: Bob take a bow for this exceptional cd. The King of Pop would be proud. A must have for any fan of great jazz and of Michael Jackson. Go out and purchase this cd for pure enjoyment."
