Special Events!!

In the band with Dr. Bobby Rodriguez at LACMA

Dr. B being honored September 9, 2024 as an LA Jazz Treasure by the Los Angeles Jazz Society. So much fun working with these great musicians. Dr. B leading the charge with Paul Kreibich, Brian O’Rourke, Randall Willis, Ricky Woodard & me!

Joe Weinroth was there and took some wonderful pics!

My band with special guest Dr. Bobby Rodriguez at 1st annual Local 47 Jazz Festival

That was my September highlight gig.

August had a wonderful highlight gig for the Leslie Baker Trio at one of LA’s biggest conventions. We performed for government people working in the arts, especially libraries.

My wonderful and favorite so far (he’s my 1st & only) husband Joe Weinroth lost his very best lifelong friend at the beginning of this year, Mike Velasco. I wanted to make some music in honor of Mike, a world famous motorcycle mechanic & innovator.

I’ve been friends with his family since I’m with Joe. Love and prayers for Mike’s wife Alana. Their 1st daughter MiShell was in Alana’s womb when Mike & Alana came to party at my gig in Burbank CA. Alana told me that night was the 1st night she felt a kick inside from MiShell. How exciting for me!! that girl was digging my groove before she even popped out!

Here’s my original music I came up with entitled El Vel

that was aka Mike Velasco RIP

Summer ’24

It’s been too long since I added videos at my YouTube channel youtube.com/lesliebaker

So I got to work behind the computer and hunckered down to put more of my music online for you all to enjoy, share, comment, like etc.

I am booking live events for my band. That’s been going great!

The one and only Barbara Morrison (RIP) is the star of this video. We were very close & I loved being near her.

Always great to be with Albert Trepagnier Jr. from New Orleans on drums!!

From my CD Askew Too I’ve digitized my original song “Rain Dance” and given it a new use @YouTube.com/lesliebaker

Thanks to Kevin Rhoades @backrhoadesproductions.com for creating the concert event Leslie Baker Quartet at the Sherry in noho

With drummer extraordinaire, my soul brother Ken Park!!

To round out this post I’m including a video of another original song of mine. This one includes group vocals including my singing & bass playing. This is the one we can perform at live events….
