Margie Baker That's Doctor Baker to us. An SF-Bay area "Local Hero" because she had family and professional obligations. First album in '05 at 68 (she'd retired), her latest was last year. This puts you in the picture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLezNGptba4 Her Site: http://margiebakervocalist.com/home.html Ron Weinstock's blog entry hipped me to her: http://inabluemood.blogspot.com/2012/02/...blues.html << a warm, savvy vocalist I'm pleased to present to you.
Some tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9RzfSEnYEE << thought I'd start with a longer, more complex piece-- a showcase for all her talents
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OVPTZVreS0 << Not an ad-hoc studio grouping; these folks been playing together for years...then add a bit of string sweetening...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOAi1RQ4XG0 << What a wonderful job they do on this Jazz classic! To issue a "cold shot": "Smooth Jazz" for the thinking person.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0nZuHofVM4 << Dr./Sistah and buds jump up. One of the commenters gave a shout-out to the bassist. I heartily concur.

A man accustomed to hear only the echo of his own sentiments, soon bars all the common avenues of delight, and has no part in the general gratification of mankind--Dr. Johnson
