“Married musicians vocalist Jean Baylor and drummer Marcus Baylor have created a captivating “project” that meets at the 3-way intersection of Jazz, Gospel and Legacy. Brimming with aural snapshots of their individual roots and the sacred space where they come together, it is a very unique album that soothes the soul...” -Urban Music Scene (by A. Scott Galloway)
Jean Baylor与Marcus Baylor的The Baylor Project深深扎根于爵士乐的灵魂之中。同为牧师后裔的Marcus与Jean对于音乐的认知便在教堂中建立而成。正是在那里，福音、蓝调、灵魂以及爵士乐影响的道路正式铺开，并成为了他们的标志。他们的处女作专辑《The Journey》在自己的厂牌旗下发布，随后在《公告牌》爵士排行榜中取得第8名，并在一年后获得两项格莱美奖提名（“最佳爵士人声专辑”以及“最佳传统R&B表演”），以此证实了The Baylor Project是一支不可忽视的力量。The Baylor Project将让你踏上一段不拘一格的音乐之旅。他们的音乐既展现了风格多样性，同时也展现了精湛的演奏技巧。
The Baylor Project featuring Jean Baylor and Marcus Baylor highly anticipated collaboration is steeped in the heart and soul of Jazz. As the children of Pastors, Marcus and Jean's musical roots were planted deep within the church, and it was there that the road was paved for the influence of gospel, blues, soul, and jazz to make its mark. Their debut CD "The Journey", released on their own label, Be A Light, topped the Billboard Jazz Chart at Number 8 and a year later garnered 2 GRAMMY® Nominations for BEST JAZZ VOCAL ALBUM and BEST TRADITIONAL R&B PERFORMANCE, solidifying The Baylor Project as an undeniable force. As you listen to “The Baylor Project,” you will be taken on an eclectic musical journey that showcases as much versatility as it does virtuosity.
The Baylor Project向他们多样化的音乐致敬，并通过这样创作一种折衷的声音，让音乐的整体效果是具有精神的、活跃的并让人感觉好的。The Baylor Project是充满灵魂的、优美浪漫的、真实的。
"The Baylor Project" pays homage to their wide-ranging musical influences, and in so doing; they generate an eclectic sound whose overall effect is spiritual, buoyant, and feel good music. Soulful. Melodic. Authentic. “The Baylor Project.”
“新泽西女孩”Jean在Temple University进修声乐表演专业期间接触了爵士乐，那时她受到了Carmen McCrae、Jimmy Scott以及Shirley Horn的深刻影响。除了发展个人职业演唱生涯之外，Jean还将作曲、编曲、音乐制作以及担任乐队领队加入自己的音乐主业。她曾作为特邀艺术家出现在包括Yellowjackets、Kenny Garrett、Marcus Miller以及传奇贝斯手Buster Williams等人的演出及录音中。具有良好及灵敏中音音域演唱功底，Jean将新鲜、不常见的措辞方式与巧妙的即兴结合，从而演唱出纯净并充满灵魂的歌声。
在圣路易斯长大的Marcus以曾在格莱美获奖爵士乐队Yellowjackets担任鼓手而被人广泛认知。在The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music学习期间，他曾与包括Cassandra Wilson、John Scofield以及Kenny Garrett等著名音乐人物合作。自那时起，Marcus便开始担任作曲、编曲、制作以及乐队领队工作。他有着一名经验丰富的音乐家才所具备的修养和即兴才能，包括自身对音乐自然的感觉、对空间的创新使用以及革新的叙事能力。
Jean, a “Jersey Girl”, was introduced to jazz in college as a Vocal Performance Major at Temple University, where she was heavily influenced by artists such as Carmen McCrae, Jimmy Scott, and Shirley Horn. She subsequently made her mark as one-half of the platinum recording duo, “Zhane´”. In addition to continued development of her craft, Jean has expanded into composing, arranging, producing, and band leading. She has been a featured guest artist in performances and recordings with Yellowjackets, Kenny Garrett, Marcus Miller and legendary bassist, Buster Williams. Well-equipped with an agile mezzo-soprano range, Jean combines a fresh, whimsical approach to phrasing with clever improvisation resulting in singing of such vocal purity that she embraces the soul.
Marcus, a St. Louis native, is widely recognized as the former member and drummer of the GRAMMY® Award winning jazz quartet, “Yellowjackets”. While studying and graduating from The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, he performed and recorded with musical icons Cassandra Wilson, John Scofield, and Kenny Garrett. Since then, Marcus has come into his own as a composer, arranger, producer and bandleader. With his natural feel, creative use of space and innovative ability to tell a story, his musicianship and improvisation are those of a seasoned musician.
