During those three years, I learned how to transcribe, improvise, make lead sheets, and countless other skills that prepared me for the New England Conservatory of Music, and the Berklee Global Jazz Institute. Jeff is a masterful teacher and vocalist who understands how to inspire his students to work hard, and always seek out new things to learn. I never realized how high the bar was set because he believed in me so much that I had no reason to doubt myself. He’s not only a teacher, but a mentor and friend.” Farayi Malek | Downbeat Award Winner | GRAMMY Nominee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/1615684106146-LI9UZ04XPNHXG5W2ZNMM/image6-1000x662.jpg Teaching - “Jeff Baker has been, and continues to be an incredible teacher, mentor, and friend to me. I can’t stress how much his presence has impacted my life in the best of ways. I am continually thankful for the ways he has opened my mind, heart, and soul to a profoundly beautiful new world of music.” Harris Long | Downbeat Award Winner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/1615684071174-4DHZD4T1EJYDQOT7C5XK/Student.jpg Teaching - “Jeff Baker always told me, ‘Once my students don’t need me anymore I’ve done my job’. Jeff was a teacher who I looked up to both as a teacher and as an individual, he taught me to be independent. He honed my singing skills with a practiced hand. Jeff Baker shaped the way I approach both music and life. He gave me a deep insight into the inner working of the jazz idiom while always promoting the love of the art form. If it was not for Jeff Baker, none of my accomplishments would have been possible.” Sekayi Anika Sumbureru | Downbeat Award Winner https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/1615685925270-Z0Z9HCOWRYTSN734G6NF/Paul%252BCantos.jpg Teaching - “Jeff Baker has garnered an esteemed reputation as being a dominant force in jazz vocal instruction and performance.

Collaborating with some of the most influential and compelling jazz musicians in the world today - Brian Blade, Steve Wilson, Marquis Hill, Clark Sommers, Geof Bradfield, and Gregory Uhlmann - Baker and his co-producer/musical director, pianist Darrell Grant, present a provocative collection of original songs and arrangements based on text by writers such as Pablo Neruda, J.D. Salinger, A.A. Milne and Salvador Plascencia. Certainly, his most ambitious and personal recording yet. "From all accounts, this charismatic crooner needs to be tracked closely. Mr. Baker has the potential to skyrocket to many accolade-coated triumphs." - JazzTrenzz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/b51ebd5d-fe84-46c0-b30c-37c813f66d26/Square+Taryn+Hadfield+42002.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/627f45f1-2dec-439e-b8c7-039b2190ef3c/Front+Cover+2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/49d62bc9-e27a-4030-a2f3-d75fc31e5224/20141208_import_1359631990_0.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/1616363186349-631GUD6K1UUXDDOK2AQF/20141208_import_1359631978_0.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/4ceb0c89-77d1-43ac-a13f-45d79858c480/i+Sam+Tru+42001.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/8aa2bc29-3b09-4bcf-ad7c-c9966c09637c/Alex-Baird_Lemon-Tree_Front-Cover.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/1616363045341-YAV81CBTV5VXWNFS39M9/71wtD14n5sL._SL1200_.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/ff057089-4ac5-490b-babd-eef60a19e2a7/Copy+of+Gray+Elegant+Fashion+Blog+Banner.png https://www.thejeffbaker.com/nextrecords-1 daily 0.75 2023-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/649e4df3-4701-4504-b6ff-569f7c930573/Next+Logo+BIG.png Next Records (Copy) Next Music Company https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/0e3548fe-dc1b-40ac-bc63-c19f3b61c89d/2.png Next Records (Copy) AMP Bournemouth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/012fd2bd-3390-4366-9006-7afdf1518479/S%2BSBlack-02.png Next Records (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/0a15b92a-12aa-45d0-a3b7-ee0536da1c35/Synch+Lab.png Next Records (Copy) The Brothers Rabe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/1689294289056-40519ZPZNY7SE7FZ74F8/2020%2BOrigin%2BLogo%2BBlack%2BSMALL.jpg Next Records (Copy) Origin Records https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/6401e092-b263-408a-8bd5-0efc2bf18a03/ACF+LOGO+BLK.png Next Records (Copy) Andrew Ching Films https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/c282a0aa-6cb1-4c91-ac21-6fe2a6d05bca/Jazz+Forward+Logo+NEW.png Next Records (Copy) https://www.thejeffbaker.com/reviews-1 daily 0.75 2023-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6046ee79a0a3ed5aaf76ea3d/ff057089-4ac5-490b-babd-eef60a19e2a7/Copy+of+Gray+Elegant+Fashion+Blog+Banner.png https://www.thejeffbaker.com/amp-bournemouth daily 0.75 2024-01-24
