MUSIC PRODUCTION

City Sketches, Inc. has arranged and produced records over the years with George Benson, Will Downing, Pieces of A Dream, Marion Meadows, and the late great Grover Washington, Jr., as well as Bob Baldwin's self-produced discs. CSI has produced records for Concord, Headsup, Shanachie, trippin' N Rhythm and Koch Records.

THE LABEL

City Sketches, Inc. was formed in 1997 by it’s founder Bob Baldwin. The company was formed originally as a production house after his record “Welcome To The Games” was recorded for the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics. The disc was sold originally on the web when the web commerce was still new, but was never distributed as a national product. The experience allowed the company employees to understand the nature of record business on a retail level. The objective of CSI is to maintain and control ownership of the masters.

After an inspiring conversation with jazz legend Grover Washington, Jr., Baldwin decided to take the next step, which was to start a small label, and the label is primarily used to house his own recordings. For the most part, City Sketches, Inc. has owned the recordings to five discs since 2000, and in conjunction with Virtuoso Music, will be re-issued this year. In addition, there are two additional recordings that were never released nationally.

“Brazil Chill” (2004), “All In A Day’s Work” (2005), “BobBaldwin.com” (2000), “The Sanctioned Bootleg” (2007) and “Lookin’ Back” (2009) will be re-issued through Virtuoso Music, and “Welcome To The Games” (1996) and “State of Mind” (1993) are also owned by CSI, but never re-issued nationally. CSI product has been released on the following labels: Shanachie, Narada, 215 Records, Nu-Groove, and Trippin n Rhythm Records.
