 Some encounters are magical and timeless, you just can't talk about them, they have to be lived.
You have to see and hear them to get the real full flavor and to appreciate them totally.
Words are sometimes useless...Only Jazz knows how to transform a sparkle into a fire.
Ronald Baker was born in Baltimore and now lives in France (Touraine). He had the opportunity to meet 4 other great musicians who share with him the “Great Black Music” tradition. Blues, Hard Bop, Swing are the hardcore elements of the Quintet, and Ronald added his personal feeling to all the compositions.

These musicians are sharing a human and musical adventure which is pretty rare in a world where everything has become more and more uncertain...you can feel their friendship when they play live all together in front of an enthusiastic crowd.
“Spirit Of The Blues” perfectly defines their Soul and is one of our favorite record.
In France, the record obtained many rewards from top jazz journalists and all the reviews are positive about the Quintet talent and charming way of performing. Five for fun: As soon as you hear the RBQ play its compositions live or studio, you understand there is a lot of Fun all around.
One of the secrets of this quintet is the incredible cohesion which has been linking them together for more than 10 years now.
