What is NewUrbanJazz with Bob Baldwin (Established 2008): NewUrbanJazz is a blend of Contemporary Jazz from around the globe, including Brazilian and Urban flavors, however, we also acknowledges the original artform of jazz, in word and song. As of Nov. 2024, we air our 2-hour syndicated "NewUrbanJazz Lounge" program across 55 stations worldwide. NewUrbanJazz continues to reach new heights, with conversations in the SouthEast and Mid-Atlantic regions, headed by Bob Baldwin's "NewUrbanJazz Lounge", a weekly 2-hour program that features all cornerstones of jazz from all around the world. Radio background of Bob Baldwin/Founder: Bob got his start in 1980, when he interned under the late Frankie Crocker, the afternoon drive-time jock on the then-#1 station in the country, WBLS/NY, under the ownership of former Tuskegee Airman, Mr. Percy Sutton of Inner City Broadcasting. After taking his break from radio in 1985 to pursue his artist career, it wasn't before landing a Newswriting gig at WINS (aka "1010-WINS) in New York City. it was there that he met Pat Prescott (Air Personality at The Wave in LA), who later secured the morning gig at CD101.9 (WQCD) in 1988. Additionally, Baldwin briefly covered the Jesse Jackson Presidential bid in 1984 for WVIP in Mt. Kisco, NY. The New York native re-fueled his flame for broadcasting. In 1998-2001, after re-locating to Atlanta, he found himself back in the mix at WCLK (Clark University), who to this day, has a 24-hour Jazz format. After another radio hiatus to travel around the world with his music, he returned in Jacksonville, Fl (Cherry Communications) and set up shop there as the Music Director and Consultant. A year later in 2005, he opened the first ever smooth jazz station in Hamilton, Bermuda (KJAZ) under Trott Communications. He stayed there until 2007 when he returned to Atlanta to be the Music Director back at WCLK. Shortly after, WJZZ came calling (Radio-One) in the fall of 2007, where he began to fine-tune the format he now calls NewUrbanJazz.
