SUMMARY:Bob Baldwin
DESCRIPTION:Bob Baldwin appearing at The Tin Pan in Richmond\, VA\n\n\nBox Office: The Tin Pan charges lower fees for box office versus online sales. Our box office is open Tues-Sat 12PM-5PM. Please visit us during those hours or call 804-447-8189. \nSeating: We assign seats in order of when you purchase your tickets. All reservations are subject to a food and drink minimum of $15 per guest. Gratuity of 20% is automatically added to all food and beverage purchases. \n \n\n\nBob Baldwin\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram  \n\n\n\nBob Baldwin is an American Pianist/Composer/Arranger/Radio Host/Inventor. The Mt. Vernon\, NY native has recorded on six of the seven inhabitable continents\, and while Antarctica is not on his recording bucket list\, his short international list\, including Dubai\, Brazil\, South Africa\, Spain\, UK\, Canada\, is quite impressive. “Whether it’s a massive festival crowd of 30\,000 or an intimate restaurant audience of less than 60\, I refuse to rob my audience of great music\, top-notch effort and a good personal experience”\, says Baldwin.  \nHe’s been coined by industry peers as the “Ray Charles of Contemporary Jazz”\, having owned all but seven of his 34 solo recordings. He claims that ownership has helped to sustain him throughout the current pandemic era. \nHis Radio program\, NewUrbanJazz\, established in 2008\, celebrated its’ 700th consecutive weekly radio program on February 28\, 2022. \nThe pianist’s personal goal is to release a 12-song project per year\, and since 1988\, he has released over 34 projects\, of which 27 are owned by his company\, City Sketches Records (distributed by The Orchard/Sony Music). Discs #35 and 36 are in the works. \nBob’s current live disc\, “The Stay at Home Series” marks an industry adjustment. Recorded in 2020-2021\, this is a closed live recording in the studio with some of his New York musical compadres. With Cafe Da Silva and Chembo Corniel on percussion\, and his longtime music friends Tony Lewis and Dave Anderson on drums and bass\, the new project will spit out a Volume 2 in the near future.  \n“Being a musician\, we obviously had to make adjustments to the way we all do music\,” says the Native New Yorker. “Concerts were eliminated in 2020\, but fortunately\, owning your own music makes you halfway covid-proof\, and live streaming was the new normal”. \nHis current 2021 release\, “The UrbanSmooth Suite” was a vocal extravaganza with various vocalists Monica Mason\, Regina Troupe\, Toni Redd and others as well as Earth\, Wind and Fire original Ralph Johnson on drum on the uptempo “Dance 3000”. \nHis 2020 piece\, “Henna” explored a more natural sound with the aforementioned Da’ Silva from Brazil\, Anderson and Lewis\, but his 12-solo piece with Nils\, Beasley\, Alford\, Whiteside and company on “Club Life” was the record highlight as well as the late Rohn Lawrence on Guitar. \nHis ‘theme’ projects of Stevie Wonder (MelloWonder/Songs in the Key of Stevie)\, Thom Bell (Betcha By Golly Wow)\, and Michael Jackson (Never Can Say Goodbye) have all charted mightily on the Billboard Jazz charts\, all hitting in the top 15. His very latest\, Abbey Road and the Beatles has also crept into the top 20 on the charts as well. \nNever Can Say Goodbye and Never out of Season were both remixed and remastered in the spirit of hi-def (2018). Whereas older recordings would peak at the average 16-bit maximum\, Bob is trying to push the envelope in re-tracking some of the music in 24-bit (and sometimes 32-bit mode). \nThe Brazilian-American Soundtrack (2016) was a disc recorded in Brazil with a magical journey through Rio\, Ipanema Beach\, Atlanta and New York City and showcases original music\, plus music from legendary writers and artists like Djavan\, Ivan Lins and Antonio Carlos Jobim. \nWhat’s next? Well…funny you should ask. Bob Baldwin is re-writing and updating his book\, “You Better Ask Somebody”\, and will go in a little deeper on subjects like music streaming and the lowdown on Croton Jazz.

It is a powerful reminder of Bilal’s dynamic vocal abilities and songwriting mastery.  \nThat was followed with his first album of new music in eight years titled Adjust Brightness\, which marks a new chapter for Bilal. The album features 11 brand-new tracks that will take listeners on his most daring musical journey yet. Adjust Brightness represents a bold step forward in Bilal’s already innovative sound\, blending his deep love of soul\, funk\, and jazz with futuristic\, electronic\, and abstract elements. This album is a giant step forward\, as Bilal merges his organic\, soulful roots with experimental electronic influences inspired by artists like Aphex Twin and Stereolab.  Listeners can expect an immersive sonic experience that defies genre conventions\, as Bilal continues to evolve and refine his unique style.

SUMMARY:Althea René & Phillip “Doc” Martin
DESCRIPTION:Althea Rene & Phillip “Doc” Martin appearing at The Tin Pan in Richmond\, VA\n\n\nBox Office: The Tin Pan charges lower fees for box office versus online sales. Our box office is open Tues-Sat 12PM-5PM. Please visit us during those hours or call 804-447-8189. \nSeating: We assign seats in order of when you purchase your tickets. All reservations are subject to a food and drink minimum of $15 per guest. Gratuity of 20% is automatically added to all food and beverage purchases. \n \n\n\nAlthea Rene\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n\nAlthea René was born on Christmas Day in Detroit\, Michigan\, and began playing the flute at just four years old. She studied classical music at Howard University\, where her early discipline and precision took shape. After graduation\, she balanced two demanding worlds\, serving as a Wayne County Deputy Sheriff by day and performing in Detroit’s jazz clubs by night. \nOver the years\, Althea built a reputation as one of the most dynamic and expressive flutists in contemporary jazz. Known for her fashionable style and energetic stage presence\, she has often playfully called the “Chocolate Barbie from the Motor City.” Her nickname was inspired by her funk-driven sound and commanding performances. She credits her father\, Dezie McCullers\, one of Motown’s original Funk Brothers\, for instilling her love of rhythm and soul. \nHer breakthrough moment came in 2013 with the Trippin n Rhythm release of In the Flow\, produced by Grammy-winner Michael Broening. The title track\, which she co-wrote\, became the first flute-led single to reach number one on both the Billboard and Smooth Jazz charts. It stayed at the top for several weeks\, earning her international recognition as a trailblazer in her genre. Then in February 2026\, lightning struck twice as her single Synergy soared to number one on the Billboard\, Smooth Jazz\, and MediaBase charts\, cementing her legacy as a genre-defining force. \nSince then\, Althea has released more than ten albums and collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music industry. She has toured extensively\, performing to enthusiastic audiences throughout the Caribbean\, Europe\, and South Africa. Her influence extends beyond the stage\, as she continues to mentor young musicians and support creative communities. In 2021\, she received the Presidential Volunteer Service Award for her ongoing outreach and advocacy work. \nAlthea is also a strong voice for women in the music business. In 2018\, she published Becoming Chocolate Barbie: A Guide for Professional Women in the Music Business\, a part-memoir and part-handbook for aspiring artists. The book offers practical advice and personal stories\, showing her dedication to helping other women succeed while navigating their own creative paths. \nAs her career continues to expand across genres and borders\, she shows no signs of slowing down. In 2026\, she will carry her sound to global audiences with international tours scheduled throughout Panama\, England\, and Indonesia\, further cementing her presence on the world stage. With more than ten projects already to her credit\, her artistic growth remains unmistakable. Her latest release\, Conspiracy Theory\, stands as a powerful and compelling addition to an already impressive body of work. \n\n\nPhillip “Doc” Martin\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n\nPhillip “Doc” Martin really is a doctor — a dentist with a private practice – but has equally impressive musical creds. Growing up in South Florida\, he started playing the saxophone at the age of 9. He continued to play all the way through high school where he became first chair in the All-State Jazz Band. \n​Doc Martin received a scholarship to study music at the University of Central Florida under the leadership of Jeff Rupert and George Weremchuk and was quickly hired as a sideman by Sam Rivers and Sisaundra Lewis (2nd runner up finalist on The Voice Season 6). \n​After graduation\, Doc Martin experienced the hardships that full time musicians often experience. He was short on money and was struggling to make a living. Based on a strong recommendation from his father\, he decided to pursue a career in dentistry (His father and brother are dentists). \n​Doc Martin got accepted into the prestigious dental program at Howard University and became a Board-Certified Dentist in 2008. During Dental School\, he managed to still tour while getting signed to Marcus Johnson’s Record label Three Keys Music where he released Pride and Joy and Realization. \n​During the pandemic in 2019\, Doc met bassist Jacob Webb and was signed to his record label Next Paradigm.  \nSince then\, Doc has recorded and collaborated with many artists including Kirk Whalum\, Walter Beasley\, Paul Brown\, Vandell Andrew\, Steve Oliver\, and Ilya Serov.  \n​Doc owns a successful dental practice in Bowie\, Maryland and tours extensively with his band.
